Review title: Major Disappointment
Product review: Boring, boring, boring! And disappointing. I began reading TURN OF THE CENTURY with high hopes. Reviews had compared this work to BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, a novel I loved because it combined a clever and satirical look at our times with an actual story where things happened and characters/people dealt with those events. TURN OF THE CENTURY delivers what to me was 600 pages of description wrapped around maybe 50 pages of story. The look at our turn of the century life is at times clever and inventive, but portraying it seems far more important to the author than presenting a story where people live, reacting to events and each other, in that sophisticated and brittle world.
