roam_ 's review for:

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

4.0

---

Relentlessly dark and pornographic. Some great passages denouncing war and man's immorality to man but quite a slog. I don't care for the whole bawdy WW2, pop culture, old movie thing. I liked Mason and Dixon much better. In fact reading Gravity's Rainbow tanked my ability to read anything more difficult than some great space operas for awhile.
