Title: I Wanted to Like Pynchon
Review: But boy, this book just turned me off completely. I take the point of the reader who wrote the review "Great Writers Are Not to Blame for Your Lack of Education", but I also believe that one should feel free to say, "I just didn't like it" and not have to worry about having your intelligence or lack thereof implicated. Having said that-- the character names; silly. Plot development; nonexistent. Characters; flat flat flat. This is all purely my opinion-- I'm definitely more of a classics reader. But I did get an education, and continue to educate myself, so I don't feel too bad about not liking Pynchon. And I think I may still give Gravity's Rainbow a try, you never know...
