I'm reading this alleged novel right now, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why I continue to read it. It's really not good.

I will admit I never thought "it was a dark and stormy night" was really all that bad, but after reading those phrases, I agree, that is just plain awful.

Love Wolfe!

He nails each decade's excess beautifully with fine turned words, but this latest offering left me terribly depressed.

The bad sex lines are intentional. I read some interviews given by Wolfe recently and he said he wanted the sex to be as unappealing as possible.

ALL of the critics are missing the point with this book. Is is supposed to be bad sex !!

In an interview, Wolfe stated that if anyone gets the least bit of pleasure from reading the sex scenes, then he has failed as a writer.

The purpose is to show the shallowness of anonymous sex that is rampant on college campuses.

Tom Wolfe attended St Christopher's school for boys in Richmond Virginia. He has been touted by the school for years as one of their claims to fame... I was tickled to see that he has been given this award .. wonder if it could be awarded to the school too? They certainly deserve it !
