Title: Read it!
Product review: With so many reviews already available here, it is hardly necessary to add another one. I can be brief therefore. If you like Wolfe's prose style and are not one of those souls who profess they cannot stand it, this is one of his best books. It will keep you reading. Wolfe is humorous and a very keen observer of society. One thing that I noticed, and it is a very minor criticism, is that Wolfe's attempts at creating realistic settings for his books suffers here somewhat from a lack of research or personal experience. It is unimportant, but to give an example, he is way off on the climatic conditions at the wharehouse in Contra Costa County, the flight pattern of the Oakland airport and other such details of Conrad's California experience. Again, you can ignore that minor lapse, and I would not even mention it if it were not for Wolfe's attention to detail.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
