Title: Some sentences worth reading; whole book is not
Review: I went to see DeLillo read from this at the Steppenwolf in Chicago and left half way through. A friend who had attended the reading with me had bought a copy of the book. He read it then passed it on to me. I thought I'd try to read because I've like DeLillo's earlier books (except End Zone).The characters don't interest me, they're flat. All in all, the book has the quality of a take myself too seriously TV series and a shock-fest like American Psycho. This one seems to borrow too much from the saccharine world of Bret Easton Ellis but I don't think that DeLillo really lives in this kind of world (thank heaven's for that). Easton's work is overwrought and it seems as of late that he's written himself out. Compared to other DeLillo works, this is lackluster. He's such a fantastic writer, the sentences he contructs are fantastic. Such a shame to waste that talent on a tale such as this.
