There are some real gems in this novel. For some reason, he got a lot of flack for making it as long as he did. But it's really not that much longer than some stuff by Pynchon or John Barth. It's so all over the place, it's sort of difficult to review it. I'm not even doing a star review, though it should be noted that at some point, I will pick it up again and do a serious reread of the novel. If you're down for the long haul, there's some fascinating story telling going on. Wallace is funny as hell, but he makes you work for it, and it's not knee-slappingly funny. It's sort of disturbingly funny. Terrorism, unorthodox use of mass media, drug addiction, Freudian psychology, Kierkegaard, plus a bunch of other stuff I will probably not understand, until later in life after I've done some more serious reading. According to unauthorized sources, Wallace was pegged to be some kind of philosophy and/or math genius when he was in school. He opted for writing fiction (and non-fiction), and that's cool with me. In one interview, Wallace passed on a quote (which he may have gotten somewhere else, I can't remember): "Good art comforts the disturbed, and disturbs the comfortable". I think that a lot of his fiction writing has that aim in mind.
