A review by jennyhamel
Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo

1.0

I'm not even sure what I just read. This is the only book I've ever started that I wanted to give up on, but as a personal rule.. I kept going until the end, hoping for it to get better. The writing is so disjointed - I couldn't even figure out where Eric Packer was half the time, much less what he was doing or who he was with. There were too many characters, too briefly introduced. Honestly, the book was so fast paced, I didn't even have time to get to know and connect with the main character. I wanted to read this because of the new Cronenberg movie - I'm really hoping he was able to do something great with this garbage.. but we'll see.
