Last year I read White Noise which I found amazing, and Point Omega which I found so-and-so, so I decided to try a third DeLillo book and see if I actually like his books.
I picked this one because the description in the back said that the protagonist travels across America with a camera. I was of course partly disappointed because it was not the road trip book I expected but I was mostly disappointed because it was filled with pretentious nonsense from beginning to end.
The first part of the book is supposed to criticise corporations and the greed and the decadence, but it felt more like a description than a criticism. The sentences throughout the book were full of vague meanings and words, everyone was self absorbed and any hint of actual plot and action was just lost in between.
It was painful to read and towards the end I couldn't help but skip a page every now and then.
