A review by jeannemixon
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit by Sloan Wilson

3.0

Pretty good for a fifties book. There were a lot of twists and turns that surprised me. But it was funny that in a book where the main character is put in charge of a commission promoting mental health awareness, no one is aware that the main character has severe PTSD. I keep expecting that to be the theme that tied some of the plot points in a bow and the term PTSD was never used even though all of its symptoms were described fully. Anyway, the three stars is for the bow tying mostly. The author describes a house as richly as Stephen King would with all of the banal horror which I loved and there were no heroes or bad guys. But of course I'm sure it's not a spoiler to say that everything turns out okay and apple pie as you knew it would.

Oh also I didn't read the one with the Franzen intro. Mine was one of the original copies, pre Franzen.
