A review by gingerliss
Libra by Don DeLillo

4.0

Up to now this has been my favourite of the books I have had to read for uni this summer. Even though it was probably the hardest read in some ways. Again, like with both other books, it took me a while to get into it. It was a little bit too political for me in the beginning, but once I;d gotten used to it I rolled into it and started to enjoy it. The story is very well crafted, even though nobody in this book is supposed to be very nice, you can't help liking some of the characters. Even though Lee was an idiot and not very nice, part of me still liked him. The same with some of the ex-CIA guys. I like the way the story was put together. It also got me interested in the whole Kennedy affair and reading the book made me realise I hardly know anything about it. So further research to ensue on the topic. I really enjoyed DeLilo's writing and look forward to reading some of his other books, hich may hopefully be a little less complicated.
