Title: ultimately unsatisfying
Review: When I started reading this book, it seemed really interesting to me. I thought the ideas that were being dimly outlined were intriguing, and I wanted to delve into them. Unfortunately, the longer I read this book, the more frustrating it became.The actions of the main charcter, Everett Chaos Moon, were nonsensical at best. He is perpetually confused, but barely manages to ever muster up any interest in really figuring things out. He comes off as a someone who doesn't make sense, because on the one hand he's trying to understand himself and the world, and on the other hand he's never making any effort to do just that. He just kinda floats along in the incoherent world pointlessly.By the end of the book, I was disgusted and irritated with the whole thing, and I felt like the ending gave me absolutely nothing for me efforts. This is the only Lethem book I've read, and it seriously discourages me from wanting to read any others.
