Query: high hopes for an insipid book

When you finish a book hating every single character, you know you wasted precious time. This book came highly recommended by a friend who usually steers me in the right direction with book choices, so I came in expecting something well worth reading. This book is not worth the time or money. It is so off the mark in every conceivable respect. I can't think of one redeemable characteristic, it is that bad. Actually, I only kept reading because I expected there must be something that makes it worthwhile at the end. Far from it. The end was the biggest let down of all, and that's saying a lot considering how poorly done the rest is. This should have been a good book, even a great book. I don't understand how an editor would let this book go to publication without more revision. Tom Wolfe, you need a better editor, one who can help you build on a premise and flush out full-bodied characters.
