A review by llimllib
Libra by Don DeLillo

3.0

A book of two halves, it seems inconsistently written. It seemed to me that in the first half, DeLillo intended to write a book about a more complicated CIA plot, but by the second half he became infatuated with writing in the voice of Lee Harvey Oswald, and unceremoniously drops several of the characters, never to pick them back up.

Still a fascinating book, and a page-turner. The language and voices are excellent. If I could, I'd rate it 3.5.
