Title: Rollicking Good Fun
Product review: There's more generalized hubris in this book than Moby Dick, more twists and turns than a trip down the Mississippi with Huck Finn. Like most great books 'A Man in Full' can be taken at several levels. In this case as a cautionary tale of modern life, a classics inspired allegory of pride and recompense or perhaps as a satirical lampoon of the great American success story (including the great American novel). Which ever of these ways you take it you will enjoy the rich descriptive essays and humour of life in the 1990's. If you're the type who goes into paroxysms of self righteous indignation at anything resembling political incorrectness or less than subtle characterizations of life and frailty in our modern world stay away from this book. Tom Wolfe has a steel tipped harpoon aimed directly at you.
