Title: Metropolis Meets Babbitt, Done Fresh
Review: I was really torqued when I finished this book, but that was my own fault. I'd decided where I wanted the author to go and had a quiet tantrum when he didn't. I guess I've just got to grow up.The more I thought about this book, the more I liked it. The characters were rich, in the sort of intentionally caricaturish way of Sinclair's Babbitt. And although our lead character sometimes kicked on his line like a tuna at sea, the reel drew steadily in through his superficial, plastic world to a thought-provoking conclusion.I guess the author thought a few of the dangling things he opened the story with weren't necessary for the flavor of the finish. In retrospect, I guess he's right.
