Title: Just About Perfect
Review: This detailed, beautifully written post-modern black comedy polarizes readers in the same way Ulysses does -- except Gravity's Rainbow is probably more accessible and rewarding for most audiences. If reading a book quickly and for fast entertainment is your approach, then its accumulation of characters, themes, and history probably won't find purchase in your imagination. My first reading took half a year -- reading little else -- and while I can't claim 100% understanding of all its references, it's hard to deny that it's an amazing treat for serious readers.It's hard to imagine a modern reader would pass up the opportunity to read this for the first, or even a second time.
