While I enjoyed this book's throw back to my preppy upbringing and East Coast roots, I found it a little depressing. How little things change, I suppose.
The main character, Winn Van Meter, reminded me of Rabbit (from John Updike's Rabbit, Run, Rabit Redux; and Rabbit is Rich)for reasons I quite can't put my finger on - probably because of the similar introspective narrative and self-importance. Overall, the character development was the best part of this novel. Even some of the more mino participants were quite three dimensional and well formed.
