alex_ellermann 's review for:
Babbitt
by Sinclair Lewis
This is supposed to be a satire of Middle American capitalism and capitalists. However, it doesn’t land. Lewis holds his protagonist, his protagonist’s milieu, and even his protagonist’s crises in such contempt that the reader is led wonder to why Lewis wrote this novel in the first place.
Moreover, the novel doesn’t even get rolling until somewhere around the 2/3 point. I mean, c’mon, Sinclair! Write with a little pep!
