skubenjoyer 's review for:
Underworld
by Don DeLillo
Waste is one of the central themes of Underworld and it certainly feels that way seeing how many completely arbitrary scenes and chapters exist in this book that any sane editor would have cut right out. For every brilliant chapter and for every genius paragraph there is an equal, if not greater, amount of waste in Underworld, and maybe that's the point that Delillo wanted to make. Either way, I would not claim that the brief moments of greatness are worth the whole thing, if the book had been maybe 300 pages shorter I might have given it a stronger recommendation.
