craigt1990 's review for:
Underworld
by Don DeLillo
I loved it. The opening section definitely is a skilled piece of writing and the book never lives up to that pace, instead it widens its field of view and divides it attention to America and the heart of its problems. I love DeLillo's style, it's a little like stream of consciousness by someone who is hyper observant to significant details and the/a voice permeates the book and every character. My biggest bone to pick is that this diminished the voice of the characters and made them all a bit samey. There is a lot of powerful imagery, SPOILER------> the juxtaposition of a murderer unable to comprehend the violent forces of his act and his analyst unpacking his demons (both detached from the actual horror of the event) and the immediate opening of the next chapter in which a woman is making Lemon Jell-O Chicken Mousse and lists the ingredients one by one, including MAYO! was great. I won't pick it apart and think it out for you, but that is magnificent writing.
