Title: A big ol' Peyton Place bore
Product review: What a joke! Caricature's, stereotypes, high drama and an ending written with an obvious sequel in mind. Is this what all the hype is about?Not only are the women cartoon characters but so are the men. My first Tom Wolfe novel and probably my last. All the hullabaloo and I'm thinking, great, a well written, intense, maybe even profound novel. Perfect! What a mistake. The characters have no dimension whatsoever, there are no surprises and I finished this book and thought, what a rip! I'm surprised Oprah hasn't put this one on her book list. All those kudos and I'll never know why. John Updike and Norman Mailor have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FEAR!
