Title: A let-down
Product review: This book was a disappointment. It was so contrived. Wolfe spent 11 years on this book. Tom Clancy writes even longer books in three months, and Wolfe is certainly a better writer than Clancy, but he doesn't show that HERE. I'm not feeling sorry for him financially, since Wolfe made millions off A MAN IN FULL. But what a waste of talent, when he could have been producing something great. F. Scott Fitzgerald said that the stuff he wrote the fastest was the best stuff. Wolfe should have heeded this advice in year 5, and started a different book. Oh, well, Wolfe can take comfort in the fact that Edmund Morris spent 16 years on his Reagan book DUTCH, and it's even bigger garbage than A MAN IN FULL. I hope Wolfe returns to nonfiction, which is what he does best (witness his recent article in FORBES).
