Despite my like for the beginning of the book, I am unsure about how I feel about it as a whole. For the most part, I enjoy Delillo’s writing style. He really makes every sentence count. Each sentence is jam packed with information and it makes for a slower read. I found that I had a hard time staying focused while reading. Part of it may just be the overwhelming amount of things to complete before the semester is over.
Because of my inattention, I feel that I don’t appreciate the book as much as others. From the class discussions, I can see that most people really enjoy it. For this reason, I suspect that I have missed something during my reading. Perhaps I will reread it when I have more time and not so many other things to worry about!
I have put Delillo’s other book White Noise on my summer reading list!
