_woodgate 's review for:

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

---

Exceptionally long and challenging and way above my head for broad swathes. Entertaining in spite of length and confusion, and fifty years of literary commentary since publication helps to smooth over some of the gaps in understanding. Rewarding, but a total head-spinner, I think I'll be reading something a bit more straightforward and short for the foreseeable future
