Review title: Disappointment...
Product review: First off let me say that I didn't finish the book, but I had high hopes of enjoying this read--even anticipated setting aside time in a busy life to accomplish that which many posters have claimed is near impossible, a complete reading of Infinite Jest. I read for pleasure and prefer books that offer "enlightenment" or fresh perspectives of social/psychological issues. The narrative just never seemed to get off the ground. Should I have persevered and given it another chance? Probably, but there are too many other books I am compelled to read. I really wanted to enjoy this after reading many positive, albeit cautious, reviews. It is the first Wallace that I have attempted, but I found this both ponderous and pretentious. Was he a good writer? Certainly! Do I want to sacrifice the time and effort to appreciate his exhausting prose----maybe later...
