chelseamartinez 's review for:
Underworld
by Don DeLillo
I'll be honest and say that I don't remember much about this book other than an awful lot of baseball. This is partially because there is a lot of baseball in it, and partially because I would read it days after school my senior year of high school when I would go with Caryn to watch our baseball team play - and I can't remember if we were going to watch her boyfriend pitch during practices or actual games. So one thing I've learned in the space since then is, you don't have to be supportive of your friends as they are being supportive of their boyfriends if you don't want to, because it's boring!
Also, when you are a senior in high school, and you are reading book reviews in newspapers and feeding off THEM like other girls in high school feed off each other in terms of what to like and what not to like, you're going to average about the same as they do. If I had done more girly things during high school I might have a better idea of how to make my hair look the way I want it to on a day when I really want it to look a certain way. This probably would have arisen after a few haircuts/styles imposed on me by frenemies that I actually hated, but would teach me about how to best flatter my face shape/how hot the flat iron really needs to be. And so... I don't think I actually liked "Underworld" that much, but having read it gave me a sort of confidence that I was up on things in at least one tiny corner of the adult world. And I do actually like Don DeLillo's books in general and this book led me to read more , so that's good, even if looking back on it is a little embarrasing, but not more than anything else people do when they're 17.
