Query: Good, But Not as Good as "Bobos in Paradise"

I really wish I could give 3.5 stars to this book because while it was well-written and well-researched, I had to struggle through it while I laughed my way through "Bobos in Paradise." This book is essentially a simplified, modern version of Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America," but nowhere near as good. I'm a big fan of David Brooks' irreverent, hyperbolic writing style, but I do think he's stretched himself too far and too thin in this book.
