Author: Tom Wolfe
Name: Hooking Up
Rating: ***half

Wolfe has a way of writing that almost makes you ignore the fact that you think his opinions are idiotic. Still, somehow, it's entertaining reading even though the man is a fan of McCarthyism and the Vietnam war. He even makes time for ridiculing the Vietnam war memorial in Washington, which I personally find a rather good example of modern art. And who could forget Wolfe's portrayal of sex among young people today? Too bad it doesn't have anything to do with reality...
