Review of A Man in Full

A 2/5 means: Poor. Below the bar. Excessive flaws cast a shadow over what may otherwise be enjoyable or have artistic merit. Not worth rereading except for comfort or nostalgia. Recommendable only to those with a strong interest in its topic.

I quit reading this after ~100 pages, because I felt it could be summed up as "The Bonfire of the Vanities, but in Atlanta." I'd rather read something totally new than something which feels like a retread. I don't care if that's actually an unfair characterization; with so many other things to read, this didn't make the cut.
