This satirical novel of the greed of the 1980s actually made me laugh out loud, something that rarely happens. From factory farms to vanity press, from conservative politics to investment banking and everything in between, pretty much every aspect of society is skewered with biting wit. The jumping around in the story line was disorienting for me. I enjoyed each scene far more than the story as an integral whole. 3.5 stars
