Title: Jaffe's worst novel
Review: Sometimes first novels are mediocre which for me is the case with "The Best of Everything". I tried to read it 3 times over the past 30+ years, but only finished reading it the first time. My favorite Jaffe novels are "Class Reunion", "After the Reunion" and "The Last Chance" all of which are compelling from the first to the last page (and what great movie plots would they have made!).However I was always wondering how a boring book like "The Best of Everything" could become such a good movie.I'm amazed that this book got an average of 4 stars on amazon.com and I wonder if I really read the same book?If you want to read a compelling novel about the fities, try "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" by Sloan Wilson which is often mentioned in reviews of the TV series "Mad Men".My favorite Wilson novel is "A Summer Place" (both Sloan Wilson novels have been filmed, have beautiful movie locations, great soundtracks and are wonderful to watch!).
