karp76 's review for:
Underworld
by Don DeLillo
I find myself struggling to find the words. Not out of the greatness. Not out of humility.
But, perhaps, magnitude. This is a work of size and reflection, at times poetic and at times trite. There is so much here. The weight is a weapon in the hands. The weight bends one over and forces them into the work whether willingly or not. This is a world and this is a place and this place and this world leaves us there and we aren't quite sure if we want to stay or need to stay only that we can't escape and that is a thing both tragic and beautiful. The book is long. Too long of its own good or usefulness. But, there is so much. This stands with the greats whether we agree or not.
