Eric’s Reviews > America Fantastica > Status Update

Okay, this novel starts out kind of slow, but it does pick up and becomes really interesting and the writing - it is so good. I would suggest America Fantastica is sort of like reading The Bonfire of the Vanities as if Tom Wolfe was also channeling Hunter Thompson when writing that novel.

This is one of those novels where a reader has to read slowly to catch all of the wonderfully crafted sentences throughout.

Hm, I don't know how to describe the opening of this novel, but it has certainly picked up and seems to be quite the sardonic look at life. Just glad to get a new Tim O'Brien book.
