sams84 's review for:

Underworld by Don DeLillo

1.0

---

Okay, I really don't get the hype about this book. To me it is a lot of words that say very little, page after page of very little. There are moments where I thought great this is starting to go somewhere but as soon as that thought was finished DeLillo jumps to another part/character/time and the thread is lost. I don't know whether it's just how I read or how my mind works but I am not a fan of this kind of ad-hoc so called non-linear writing but I'm sure somewhere in this epic novel there is a story that many will (and for all accounts do) enjoy, however I am not one of them.
