Resumen del Editor
Audie Award, Humor, 2009
A young graphic designer fresh out of college in the summer of 1961, Happy has just landed his first job at a wacky advertising firm filled with eccentric creative artists. Everything is going great until Happy is assigned to design a newspaper ad recruiting participants for an experiment in the Yale Psychology Department. Happy can't resist responding to the ad himself. Little does he know that the experience will devastate him, forcing a reexamination of his past, his soul, and the nature of human cruelty - chiefly his own.
Written in sharp, witty prose and peppered with absorbing ruminations on graphic design, this stand-alone sequel to Chip Kidd's previous novel, The Cheese Monkeys, again shows that Kidd's writing is every bit as original, stunning, and memorable as his celebrated book jackets.

But then he meets the new transfer student: Elliot Allagash, evil heir of America’s largest fortune. Elliot’s rampant delinquency has already gotten him expelled from dozens of prep schools.

Things have been going pretty badly for Theo Bernstein. An unfortunate accident at work has lost him his job (and his work involved a Very Very Large Hadron Collider, so he's unlikely to get it back). His wife has left him. And he doesn't have any money. Before Theo has time to fully appreciate the pointlessness of his own miserable existence, news arrives that his good friend, a renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, has died. By leaving the apparently worthless contents of his safety deposit box to Theo, however, the professor has set him on a quest of epic proportions.

Historia
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Good Read
First, Bronson Pinchot is great!
Next, this was a good freshman effort, I suppose. My favorite character was Winter Sorbek. As a teacher, I feel his rage at students who wander through life and expect the answers to be handed to them because they paid the tuition, but don't bother to THINK and WORK!
I enjoyed Happy's trials at trying to solve problems, and navigate his first year of college.
Himilsy (sp?) was interesting (to me as a west-coaster completely unfamiliar with the stuffy, lock-jawed intonations of aimless elites).
While the story is set in the late 50's, Himilsy's character today would be a chain-smoking vegan, but not militant about it. She is interesting also being what we now would call a 'Fag-Hag". Perhaps she'd be a prototype.
I would have liked more background on the characters. I want to know more about why Winter and Himilsy are the way they are. Himilsy clearly hates herself, but the climax of the book makes me wonder why.
There are a couple of flaws that are gaping holes: without giving too much away....... Happy creates some compromising photos, and Himilsy is alluded to have had a sexual tryst or relationship, and both of these could have done with a bit more description. I can't help but think that Kidd kept the description of these to a minimum to keep with the 50's tone of the book when such things weren't discussed in polite company. However, as the old adage goes, "Show, Don't Tell".
It's a good listen, and fairly short.

Not Really a Comic Novel
I truly loved The Learners for the first third or so. It was charming, witty, and at times laugh-out-loud funny. Bronson Pinchot is a fantastic narrator, performing every voice so that I felt like I knew those people. His reading is certainly a 5-star performance, even though his material fell short.
The problem I had with this book was its inconsistency of tone. About a third of the way through to book, it abruptly turns from a light-hearted read (with a few weightier moments) into a maudlin presentation of a series of depressing events. I didn't expect the book to be "happy" all the time, but such a disparity was startling. The product description told us that the main character would face something devastating, but the change in tone just took it too far.
I certainly am not advocating staying away from this book. I am still glad I got it--if for nothing more than Pinchot's narration. But you should know what you're getting. If you like the sample, the narration is that fanststic consistently. If you're looking for the book to maintain that tone-- it won't.

Not much to like
The author is clearly in love with graphic design, advertising, and how it was practiced in the pre-digital age. That passion does bring a nice level of detail to the book, but that's about the only nice thing I can say. Well, I could also add that Pinchot does do a fine job with the reading.
The humor of the book falls flat as do the cardboard cut out wacky/tragic characters. The whole thing reads like a pale imitation of Cofederacy of Dunces. There is not much believable, charming, or funny about any of them or the situations they get into.

disappointing, jarring
Without revealing anything specific I can only say that this sequel was a jarring segue from The Cheese Monkeys, which I loved. It's less of a sequel and more of a macabre digression.
