Negative Positive
Title: Pretentious, written for effect, not readers
Review: DeLillo has created a tour de force. Unfortunately, it is a legend in his own mind. Artfully presented, the prose is heavy and dense, the characters are built up at a glacial pace and the plot is still relatively remote after 300 pages. This, combined with the incessant time-hopping chapters, made for a most unpleasant experience.
