Title: Mason Dixon: the survey that never ends
Review: Having loved the flow and imagination of Gravity's Rainbow and the simplicity of The Crying of Lot 49, this was a disappointment.Granted, I know the point is not about surveying per se, but after the first 200 pages I was losing my attention span. Pynchon devotees may love this but except for being able to say I've read most everything of his in print, I'm hard pressed to say more than: he can still craft long, grammatically-correct sentences and shows a real depth in writing.If you can make it to the New World, it gets easier but better reads are out there.
Is the review positive or negative?
