Title: Engrossing
Product review: A MAN IN FULL is author Tom Wolfe at his best, which is to say: Brilliant. As a social historian, there is no one better than Wolfe. He details his stories with an abundance of background detail that add to these stories' success in ringing chords of truth. Wolfe also is a satirist, noting and then puncturing the bubbles of pretension that permeate every stratum of society.A MAN IN FULL is a vast novel, almost Dickensonian in its scope. It crosses the United States, in the process touching on many of the subcultures and social classes which now reside within our borders. Wolfe never loses his pitch, crafting a plot in which every one of the multitude of detail pulls together into a cohesive whole. He keeps the reader engrossed to the final page.
