Tom Wolfe, the master social novelist of our time, the spot-on chronicler of all things contemporary and cultural, presents a sensational new novel about life, love, and learning--or the lack of it--amid today's American colleges.

Our story unfolds at fictional Dupont University: those Olympian halls of scholarship housing the cream of America's youth, the roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns suffused with tradition . . . Or so it appears to beautiful, brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a sheltered freshman from North Carolina. But Charlotte soon learns, to her mounting dismay, that for the upper-crust coeds of Dupont, sex, cool, and kegs trump academic achievement every time.

As Charlotte encounters the paragons of Dupont's privileged elite--her roommate, Beverly, a Groton-educated Brahmin in lusty pursuit of lacrosse players; Jojo Johanssen, the only white starting player on Dupont's godlike basketball team, whose position is threatened by a hotshot black freshman from the projects; the Young Turk of Saint Ray fraternity, Hoyt Thorpe, whose heady sense of entitlement and social domination is clinched by his accidental brawl with a bodyguard for the governor of California; and Adam Geller, one of the Millennial Mutants who run the university's independent newspaper and who consider themselves the last bastion of intellectual endeavor on the sex-crazed, jock-obsessed campus--she is seduced by the heady glamour of acceptance, betraying both her values and upbringing before she grasps the power of being different--and the exotic allure of her own innocence.

With his trademark satirical wit and famously sharp eye for telling detail, Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons draws on extensive observations at campuses across the country to immortalize the early-21st-century college-going experience.

SO durable & my Blue Heeler LOVES it!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
My Blue Heeler tears up almost all of her toys if they’re not rubber. This ball is SO durable and she loves it so much!! We’ve had it for 5 months now. She chews on it every day for long periods of time and it’s showing pretty much no wear and tear. I keep wondering if I’ll ever have to pull out the second one from the box lol. It can be hard to squeak with one hand, but it’s easy enough with 2 hands or if you step on it with your foot. It’s hilarious that every time I squeak it she licks her lips. My girl never actually squeaks it while she’s chewing on it, which is actually a plus cuz it doesn’t get annoying when she’s chewing on it for long periods of time. I also love that the ball helps clean her teeth because of the spikes and the size is larger so it’s easy to take it from her while playing fetch. Overall a fun, durable dog toy!

Totally indestructible!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
Finally! A toy my aggressive chewer cannot destroy!! Can’t even get the squeaker out! No other toy has ever held up and it’s got some nice bounce to it. Perfect size so it can’t get stuck under the sofa. Furthermore, it aids in cleaning his teeth and he loves them. This is a great money saver too! Update - 3 months later - still pup’s fav…still whole - still lotsa bounce - still has squeaker intact. As good as new! I’d buy these again but don’t need to 😃!

Toughest ball of this type.
Color: Blue
My dogs are brutal with these toys. I really like them as the spikes act as a tooth brush, and the dogs love knawing on them. There are other spiked balls like this on amazon, but this one is of better quality. It lasts a lot longer. The squeaker does not last long, the dogs teeth push it into the ball, you can hear it rattling around in there.

Very good for aggressive chewers
Color: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Finally found ball that my aggressive chewer doesn't destroy. Has loud squeaker however he broke after 4 days. Probably better, noise gone. Very sturdy and he loves. Also big so doesn't roll under furniture.
