Title: A very very very long read but kept me going until the end.
Product review: I have never read anything by Tom Wolfe although I did see Bonfire and Right Stuff in the Theaters and actually liked both a lot. This book is nothing like the other two stories, which isn't a bad thing. The author is has an amzing ability to weave a story and bring unlikely characters together. That said, I felt that some of the characters portrayed were somewhat weak in terms of being interesting or shallow in their developemnet. There were two fasinating characters that make this book worthwhile and that get you going until the end.The ending was a big disapointment that left you thinking why did I spend the time to get such a lousy forced climax. It is like a roller coaster with out a big drop.Over all the book had some real nice nuggets but but not enough of them to recommend it to a friend.
