overwritten, and the plot suffers at the hand of the need of delillo to spread a certain philosophy. the book has beautiful poetic prose but often it prattles on for pages too long. stretches of this book read as completely different stories; and none of the characters felt fleshed out properly, they felt like names in a word problem.
