Query: 5 Stars if not for the stupid ending

I found the development of the story very enveloping. The parallel struggles of a rich man and a poor man and the attempt of a mediocre man to rise and a great man to avoid a fall. As the political aspect of the story evolved, there was an attempt at creating an issue and resolution of racial tension but the African American mayor and lawyer were just a side show and no real resolution was reached where there was not enough tension created that required a resolution.The first 600 pages of the 690 page book aside, were great. Then, apparently the author became bored and just decided to end the story by having everyone go crazy and give up on any further goals or motivations that had been created in the earlier part of the book.This was my first Thomas Wolfe novel. As I worked through the first 600 pages I told myself that I would read all of his works. After reading the last 90 pages of the book, I find it unlikely that I will read any more Wolfe.
