Written with the attitude of a couple ill-mannered schoolboys who exhibit the insight and genius of the Ph.D.s who wrote it, Playing the Game simplifies even the most complex aspects of grad school.

Authors Frank and Stein have broken down Playing The Game into three hilarious and straightforward sections: Getting In, Getting Through, and Getting the Hell Out. In whatever stage of graduate school you find yourself, rest assured that you will never again grumble, “If only I had known! If only someone had explained this @%#! to me sooner!”

Playing the Game simplifies the entire graduate school experience while imparting comically relevant stories and translating complicated graduate school jargon. This self-help guide helps grad students to comprehensively navigate their graduate school journey from application to matriculation. Unlike most of the material youll be reading in grad school, Playing the Game is actually intelligible.

   This is a must read for anyone considering, entering, or attending graduate school. As a graduate student in Anthropology, I can attest to how useful this guide is. Unlike similar books, this guide is both humorous and practical. Drs Frank and Stein will have you rolling in the halls of your current or future program, drinking non-alcoholic beer in class and taking tests in crayon. In sum, you need this book!
