    Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and The Right Stuff are all better than Bonfire imo, Wolfe is better as a journalist than a novelist.

    He was a reactionary at the core, and it comes out a little too much in his novels for my taste.

    Bruce Willis was a terrible casting decision.
