I'm happy to give up, but will persevere if any is going to read it all the way through June -----Original Message----- From: ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ebooktalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Clare Gailans Sent: 31 December 2012 10:44 To: ebooktalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ebooktalk] Re: tom Wolfe I'm afraid I totally agree with June and David, in that I have previously enjoyed two Wolfe books but couldn't stand the pretentiousness of this one. I gave up very quickly, being ever conscious of not getting to so many books I know I will enjoy. I hope some people are enjoying it, and that those who are persevering further than I did find that it gets better, but I found the writing style an insurmountable hurdle.
