bocifious 's review for:
The Pale King
by David Foster Wallace
I haven't read any of DFW's other works, so I have nothing to compare to, but this really did seem like an unfinished novel, both in the structure/plot and the writing. At many times early on I wanted to just be finished already, but later in the book I found some of the sections/chapters to be much stronger. My personal favorite was Section 22, with Section 46 being my second favorite. Many of the sections were good little stories of their own, while others didn't do much for me or were downright annoying. I think the good sections and the strength towards the end of the book redeemed this story for me.
