Negative Positive
Title: Oh please....
Review: I've read two other Thomas Pynchon books and really enjoyed them but, come on, this was just awful. It was my cross to bear for months and is on my top 10 list of the most pretentious, ridiculous piffle I've ever read. I'm certainly not "afraid" of large tomes or even 18th century style writing/dialogue -- that's not where I got hung up. I just think anyone who tries to find deep, hidden, "subversive" meaning in this continuous stream of mental vomit is just trying to justify the monumental amount of time wasted reading this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
