Title: This is not Bonfire of the Vanities
Product review: Well the best thing about this book was the ability to skim dozens of pages and read it fast. This book lacks the spirit and interest of Bonfire. The characters are too stereotyped and the whole thing with Conrad is sort of out there too far until the end, and then does not sufficiently tie. The better lecture on Epictetus is provided by J.D. Salinger 30 some years ago. I could have thought of better endings and certainly would have edited it more. Overall I found the book disappointing.
