Title: I'VE READ TOM WOLFE AND HE'S NO DICKENS
Product review: SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT. is it possible to simply get tired of wolfe's literary pyrotechnics? but to call him a modern day Dickens--as some reviewers have--is a travesty. when i think of all the talented fiction writers who never get the hype he does, it is even worse. his constant weaving back and forth made no character coherant for any length of time; his women were all cardboard cut out stereotypes and so much of his observations were about surface attributes or non attributes, such as nymphet abs vs. over-the-hill flab. instead of satire, it sounds like hackneyed thoughts of his own. he should have grown up by now.
