Thriller A story with a humourous thread although also challenging the US legal & education system. Three law students from a low performing law school decide to drop out in their final semester and try to do something about the huge debts they have accrued in student fees because the government supports their study by paying the colleges the fees with the students having to repay when they graduate and start work. Many colleges are for profit and rake off millions with some owners funding a wealthy lifestyle by owning multiple schools. Unsure how plausible the story is but it made for a good read. Voilà un roman qui est profondément amoral malgré la volonté de positionner trois étudiants comme justiciers d'un système capitaliste pourri qui abusent de jeunes cherchant à se faire une place dans le vaste monde. Ça ne marche pas: Mark et Todd sont roués, ambitieux et sans morale; Zola se laisse facilement embobinée par leurs combines - je ne les ai pas trouvés particulièrement attachants. L'intrigue, par contre, malgré les habituels coups fourrés et deux-ex-machina, est bien menée et on se prend au jeu des trois jeunes. Les dernières pages, une course contre la montre, sont particulièrement bien écrite et j'ai bien aimé le décor inédit du Sénégal. Somme toute une lecture agréable, parfaite pour l'été À noter que la traduction est excellente. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Distinctions
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no. No library descriptions found. |
