Title: A very weak effort...
Review: Tom Wolfe has written some terrific books over the years, but this isn't one of them. The characters are mostly wooden and shallow. The "shocking" material is cliche. It's as if he cobbled together this novel from a bunch of 10-minute interviews with hungover trust fund brats. In between the parties and basketball games, most college students I know are struggling to pay the bills and find some career path that will allow them to rise above a job at Wal-Mart. Charlotte Simmons herself is little more than a paste-up figure trying to illustrate a cautionary story about "the smart working-class country girl who gets swept away by the sinful, dishonest elite on a big name (imaginary) campus." In my experience, the working class rural kids are a hell of a lot more savvy about the realities of life than most of the "daddy bought me a new Beemer when I turned 16" set. Dull, predictable stuff. Try again, Tom.
