Needless to say, I didn't love it. I wanted to. Really. I am the type of person who needs to finish a book if I get 50 pages in, even if I find it agonizing. I could not manage to finish this one. I have loved many of DeLillo's earlier books, but this one was too just too obtuse and self-aggrandizing in my opinion. Maybe it gets better after the first half, but I kept either falling asleep or finding excuses to put it down. I think I will go back and re-read Americana instead...
