"I've always been a fan of Francine Prose as a critic. I've always really enjoyed reading her essays in Harpers and elsewhere, and I'd never read anything by -- no, I'd read one book by her -- and so I thought I'd give this a try. A Changed Man is about a man by the name of Vincent Nolan, who's a former neo-Nazi, and he leaves his life as a neo-Nazi and decides he's going to turn over. you know, change. I think what I liked best about A Changed Man I thought was the set up. I thought it was a really interesting idea for a novel. I liked the dynamism of the book, I liked the way it kept moving, I liked the way the writer got into the heads of all the characters. I also found it entertaining. It was funny, and it was- in parts it was very funny and smart. My major problem with the book was that I found it too scripted. In other words, I could feel the author on every page, and I found that all the characters were a little caricatured. They were a little wooden. I do have mixed feelings about A Changed Man because on the one hand, I enjoyed it, it was funny; but on the other hand, as I've said, there was things about it that really bug me. A good book to grab you, to be funny, to be involving, give it a try. If you're looking for great literature, look elsewhere. I would give this book three."
