Title: "Big" Doesn't Mean A "Good" Time
Product review: The Big Time suggested such a wonderful, creative idea that it was hard to resist. However, in practice the book was tedious, the characters were not well developed and some of the curiosities Leiber aroused were never fully addressed.As odd as it sounds, the feeling of the book is very much like the setting in Cabaret - a group of people waiting to see how a war is going work out. Even down to the German phrases that are muttered. Was Leiber a fan of musicals?The concept probably makes this worth the read but its a hard book to get through. The 130 pages seem double their length upon reflection.
