Interesting characters, but, story gets tedious Wolfe captures the college environment well and develops the characters of this novel very well, but, the story seems to go on forever. The novel starts well -- several stories being weaved together -- some interesting characters, including the only white kid starting on the basketball team at this Duke/Stanford-like University. But, it becomes a tedious soap opera -- and over time I didn't care what happened to Charlotte or any of the other characters. I finished the book, but, could have easily put it away about 300 pages in.
