Title: Why are readers criticising the ending?
Product review: I have just finished this book which I read in less than a week. It had me hooked from beginning to end. I had read some of the reviews here before I read the book so was prepared to be disappointed by the end, but thought it was a great ending for such an absorbing book. Not being an American may have made a difference, but I enjoyed all Wolfe's caricatures of contemporary American manhood - the real estate developer, upand coming Black lawyer, aspiring politician, jailbird, arrogant athlete, failed middle management banker, etc etc, even Croker's tramsformation into an inspirational speaker at the end - all these are real, albeit exaggerated, examples of America today. Great book; even better than Bonfire of the Vanities.
