Summary: Interesting, but a bit of a slow read
Comment: Being a huge fan of the other two Tom Wolfe books I've read, "The Bonfire of the Vanities" and "A Man In Full", I was naturally curious to read Wolfe's first book. Unfortunately, I didn't find it to be as sharp or witty as his more recent work, possibly due to this one being non-fiction. I found it to essentially be a set of rambling observations about the state of life in America in the 60's. His choices of subject are clever and put a whole new spin on my view of the United States of the mid-twentieth century but on the whole I found large stretches of the book to be quite dry and, in my opinion, unnecessarily convoluted.
Rating: 4
Summary: hysterically keen insight into American culture
Comment: Wolfe is sharp in documenting the developments in America. Vivisecting society with language that is at once descriptive and critical, Wolfe pops inflated egos and elevates the seemingly shallow mod culture. Its a riot to see class, culture, celebrities, and heroes through his witty and keen observations. God Bless America!!!
Rating: 5
