Title: His best yet and this is one case where that means something
Review: I've read all of Lethem's books so far, so I was very excited when I received an advance copy of this. It is, at once, his most serious and humorous novel yet. It seems well-grounded in research and still manages to convey emotion in an impressive manner. It is strange that his last book (Girl in Landscape- the most easy of his novels to categorize as sci fi.) is followed by this one. There is no hint of science fiction at all. This shouldn't scare his fans away, though. The book is still packed with interesting verbiage and ideas. This is the best book I've read in two years.
