Review title: Infinite waste of time
Product review: For well over a thousand pages, Wallace attempts to impress us with his wit and knowledge. It doesn't work. The book ends up being a pretentious and self-indulgent mess. Wallace wants to posture himself as a Joyce or a Pynchon or even a Fuentes, but falls woefully short. The characters are shallow; many sub-plots are left unresolved; and too many witticisms are purloined from other sources. If this is the new direction literature is taking, please God, let me off of this bus before it crashes and burns.
