Gotta say to all, I’m not that familiar with Wolfe, but the audiobook of Bonfire of the Vanities was one of the best I’ve listened to. Highly recommended. The reader does amazing stuff, don’t think it would have been as good if I was just reading it myself.
I read that book and it was very well written. The Movie was a disaster, bad casting for one, but the script was changed and it went from a great drama to some sort of Comedy-Drama that was awful.
Tom Hanks was just not Sherman McCoy, and then they substituted a black judge at the end for a Jewish one like in the book.
