" A fictionalized Charles Yerkes (proprietor of the Chicago Railway) experiences middle life and muses upon power, money and fame with middling results. Drieser is the master, and this is the 2nd piece of the trilogy he died writing. The Stoic (part 3) was one chapter from completion when he died. "

" Inspirational is what I would call this novel. Although I liked the first novel more, looking forward to the third and final of this trilogy. Also fascinating to find out that the story is based on a historical Chicagoan rail-street tycoon. "

" Only took me a month+ to get through. :-/ I have to say I liked The Financier better, as The Titan moved a bit more slowly. However, I enjoy Dreiser's writing enough, and I find Frank Cowperwood interesting enough that I'm tempted to read the last book in the trilogy, The Stoic. "

" It kept my interest long enough to finish reading it. Since the main character is a bourgeois capitalist pig-dog, and he's opposed only by other such characters, it's hard to find any real empathy for anyone in the entire book (except for maybe one of the women he screws over). "
