What can I say, I'm a big fan of the Cohen Brothers, and they don't disappoint with this one either!
Overall, it wasn't quite as good as the Big Lebowski, Fargo and No Country for Old Men, but it was definitely better than Burn After Reading. It had typical Cohen Brothers elements such as dark humor, quirky minor characters that can steal scenes, and a great ending.
It does have elements of academia in it, but the setting is in the 60's, so for some reason it seems believable.
Also, it does fall short on a structural note where it does not develop one of the characters enough for the ending to be quite as powerful as it could have been, but that is one of the few complaints.
