I laughed so hard I was in peril of wetting myself!

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2000
Review: I originally bought this book back in January 1999, intending to read it right away. I had been really looking forward to something new from Tom Wolfe - 'Bonfire of the Vanities' and 'The Right Stuff' were almost my favorite books at the time I read...

Complex, enjoyable read

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 1999
Review: Once again, Tom Wolfe has cranked out a fascinating, complex book, with lots of interesting characters, enough plot twists to keep even the most sophisticated reader interested, and an ending that ties most of it together.

As with "Bonfire...

If this Wolfe knocks answer the door!

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 1999
Review: I always approach a Tom Wolfe book with trepidation. I fear that I will lose the story in the weave and warp of the tale. As much as I enjoy the technical quality of his writing I've occasionally lost the story in the richness of his details. "A Man...

It's about time Tom!

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2000
Review: "Bonfire of the Vanities" took a long, hard deep look at the highfalutin New York crowd of the late 1980's and became on the decade's best selling and critically acclaimed books. It also spawned a truly horrid movie, but we can't blame that on the...

a man in full

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: Tom Wolfe has done it again. I travel a great deal and am always grabbing paperbacks as I run through airports. Of the 12 or so books which I have read this year "A Man in Full" is the strongest.
This novel deals with an extremely wealthy and...

The Big, Good Wolfe

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2000
Review: Tom Wolfe wrote one of the great non-fiction books of our generation ("The Right Stuff") so it seems a lot to ask him to be a great novelist as well. Thankfully, somebody asked and he delivered. "A Man In Full" is a fantastic book that contains an...

Need....more....Wolfe....

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 1999
Review: The first book I read by Tom Wolfe was The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. This book although by the same author is not documentary in style. Based in Atlanta and focusing some on racial tensions and modern...

A wicked sense of humour

Review: and good plot development with fully developed characters made this one of the funniest and most entertaining books I've read in years.In the rich plethora of unique characters there is only one that deserves any sympathy and in that respect alone...

An Unsympathetic "Man"

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 1999
Review: Tom Wolfe has an eye for detail. In his great nonfiction books, such as "The Right Stuff," he captures the places, the people, and the spirit of the times so perfectly that you feel as though there's nothing more to be said. In his second novel, "A...

Bestseller for a reason

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 1999
Review: Why don't more authors write like Tom Wolfe? He used to work as a reporter and it shows. He's got a great eye for detail, at pointing out the texture of life, all the little things that people miss. This book is a wicked social satire, perhaps not...
