Title: vapid, two-dimensional characters, but masterfully marketed
Product review: This book rivals "The Phantom menace" in the media -hype surrounding its release. Rarely does one encounter a human being without any redeeming quatlities whatsoever. However, Tom Wolfe managed to create an entire city of such characters. There was not one character in all of the book that I cared about in the least, which in committing to spend a week or more in reading a novel, is critical. Charlie Croker's arrogance is only equaled by Conrad Hensley's sanctimony. The ending was trite befitting the novel.
