Ennesima conferma che DeLillo non fa per me. Proverò ancora una volta con “Rumore Bianco”.

Una perspectiva cínica y demoledora del mercado moderno, aunque me parece que no alcanza a desarrollar por completo esta visión quedándose en apenas un atisbo.

slow-paced

Insufferable MMC recommended by a somewhat similar male irl.

I'm not even sure what I just read. This is the only book I've ever started that I wanted to give up on, but as a personal rule.. I kept going until the end, hoping for it to get better. The writing is so disjointed - I couldn't even figure out where Eric Packer was half the time, much less what he was doing or who he was with. There were too many characters, too briefly introduced. Honestly, the book was so fast paced, I didn't even have time to get to know and connect with the main character. I wanted to read this because of the new Cronenberg movie - I'm really hoping he was able to do something great with this garbage.. but we'll see.
