Title: Worst Wolfe by a wide margin
Review: There are books where the author takes on the persona of the teen protagonist--Salinger of course, but more recently Tom Perrotta's JOE COLLEGE and Curtis Sittenfeld's PREP come to mind. Then there are books that sound like a 70-year-old man pretending he remotely has a clue about the culture and social norms of today's teens. I AM CHARLOTTE SIMMONS is most definitely the latter.The latest by Tom Wolfe misses the mark in almost every conceivable way. He doesn't know how today's kids talk, act or interact with their peers. It's one of the more disappointing novels I've read in 5-6 years. If Wolfe's name isn't attached to it, this manuscript doesn't see the light of day.
