Title: I gave it my all...
Review: I sat down and read each of the six chapters TWICE in this novel, and I didn't understand hardly anything. I know Pynchon is an outstanding author and I'm sure there's plenty of symbolism I should have picked up on, but guess what? I didn't. I like novels that make you think, but this one is like looking at a piece of art and just drawing a blank. The characters are interesting, but not detailed. No one can deny that... The story itself is engrossing for the first 50 or so pages. Then I just completely lost where Pynchon took the novel. Do you have to be over forty years old and have three degrees in English to understand his concepts? However, if anyone would like to explain any aspect of the novel to me, I would love to hear about it. Just use the address provided above. Thank you.
