Title: You pretentious little man!
Product review: He should have just called it "shanks akimbo" and gotten it over with. Mr. Wolfe used this unusual phrase more times than he did "a man in full". He even included it in a rap song. Now, I'm not exactly a rap afficianado, but I doubt that particular phrase has ever been used in a rap song, or ever will be. Maybe he just thought it made him sound more intelligent. It served only to pull me out of the story, over and over again.I know that Mr. Wolfe has produced much better works than this. His research is painstaking in some areas, nonexistent in others (shooting quail with buckshot?). Oh yeah, and we get the accent thing (thang).I know that I personally spend enormous amounts of time worrying about whether or not people in New York will think I'm provincial. Please!Quick--someone get this man an editor!
