Customer Reviews of Domers: A Year at Notre Dame

Go Irish
The book explores in interesting detail the workings of a large university in the late 90's. What made this book more enjoyable for me was that it focused on the tradition that is Notre Dame, and adequately addressed campus life at the most renowned Catholic university in the world. It brought to light how the school deals with today's social issues through the eyes of faculty, administration and students. For those interested in the mystique and history of Notre Dame, or the struggles of surviving with your unique message in a time when the world may not agree with you, I recommend you take the time to enjoy this book

A true story
If you want to get under the covers of the public face of one of the world's most prestigious institutions, this book does it. It shares the personal experiences of domers as they deal with the pressures of academia, the experiences of meeting many influential people on campus (e.g., Bill Clinton, George Bush, Jimmy Carter, Muhammad Ali, Jesse Jackson, Regis, among others), and indulging in the athlectic rigor - all on one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. It will make you want to go back again and again.

Easy read and really captures the spirit
I would describe it a bit like the movie "Titanic" - you know how it's going to end but it's the personal stories along the way that make it a captivating story - and the author tells the story well.

I went to Notre Dame and really felt this insightfully reflected what it was like to be there and what makes this place so special to its alums.

I'm sure I will read it again.
