One night in the Bronx a millionaire, Sherman McCoy, and his mistress have an accident. The next day a young black man is in hospital in a coma as McCoy heads for disaster. His humiliation is at the centre of a satire on the decaying class, racial and political structure of New York in the 1980s.
I didn't think this was going to be my cup of tea but to my surprise I really enjoyed it.

'T'was just sittin' under an audio guide, takin' in the view at Tate Modern.
I have to say I really didn't like this book. I guess it was worth reading and I didn't give up on it but it was like American Psycho without the psycho, all descriptions of wealth and self obsessed characters. Maybe I'm just jealous, maybe it really wasn't my kind of book. Give it a go, you might like it.

Journal Entry 5 by John-P from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Sunday, February 4, 2007
I came across the book in the Rest Room of our City Branch.
This must have been in either late 2005 or early 2006. I have been meaning to read this since then. I had forgotten about it until I came across more BookCrossing books in Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire. I now have the incentive to get this read and to pass on my other 2 books.
