Özet
 Don't miss the star-studded mini series adaptation of A Man in Full-coming soon to Netflix.

Big men. Big money. Big games. Big libidos. Big trouble.

The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real-estate entrepreneur turned conglomerate king, whose expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife--and a half-empty office tower with a staggering load of debt. When star running back Fareek Fanon--the pride of one of Atlanta's grimmest slums--is accused of raping an Atlanta blueblood's daughter, the city's delicate racial balance is shattered overnight.

Networks of illegal Asian immigrants crisscrossing the continent, daily life behind bars, shady real-estate syndicates, cast-off first wives of the corporate elite, the racially charged politics of college sports--Wolfe shows us the disparate worlds of contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most phenomenal, most admired contemporary novelist.

Praise for A Man in Full:

"A masterpiece." --The Wall Street Journal

"The novel contains passages as powerful and as beautiful as anything written--not merely by contemporary American novelists but by any American novelist. . . . The book is as funny as anything Wolfe has ever written; at the same time it is also deeply, strangely affecting." --The New York Times Book Review©1998 Tom Wolfe (P)2018 Penguin Random House Audio Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Political Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense Spor Oyun

Definitely worth to listen, but the author could have cut at least 50% without losing much, in fact, strengthening the book.

Nice, but too much

Experiencing the book 25 yea after it was set is interesting. Much is dated but even more still holds true. I love the way the characters are developed and the intricate details and descriptions

The depth and evolution of all the characters

Tom Wolfe creates characters that you fully believe in, and his writing transports you. I was in prison at one point (more fun than it sounds.) Funny and insightful and interesting.

Superb - what an exceptional storyteller

I didn't get it. There was quite a lot of repetition, especially of the internal character narratives.

Not for me
