The Real Animal House · The Awesomely Depraved Saga of the Fraternity That Inspired the Movie

"Loud, raucous, infantile, racy, and very funny...The book is full of likable

eccentrics, sexual shenanigans, and--if you know where to look for them--

valuable life lessons."--Booklist

_Animal House,_ the movie, didn't tell the half of it.

Writing with a freshness and joy that make Dartmouth 1960 feel like a beer-

soaked rock-and-roll heaven on earth, Chris Miller tells the real story of the

Alpha Delta Phi fraternity as no one else could. Seal, Doberman, Otter, the

legendary Moses (he of the burning bush) - these titans and dozens of others

come alive again, terrorizing the administration, taunting cops, surviving

their own lunacy, and challenging the squareness of a stifling time. _The Real

Animal House_ is the perfect antidote for a conventional age much like today.

"A breezy, chuckle-worthy read, and a must for the Animal House fan." -

_Courier-Post_

"Action-packed. . . . A boozy holler of a book, with a great soundtrack." -

_Kirkus Reviews_

"A seriously funny read. . . . The joy and exuberance that Pinto and his pals

demonstrate holds a lesson for every generation that needs to learn not to

blindly follow the expectations of parents and guidance counselors, but to

seek out those blissful bands of merry misfits that appear from time to time."
