zrayner 's review for:
Underworld
by Don DeLillo
Underworld has a very strong start and a good finish, but I found that much of the plot lost its momentum as it shifted to different perspectives/time periods. DeLillo’s writing style always pulls me in, but much of the themes that were laid out in the first 200 pages weren’t explored as much as I’d hoped later on. For a while, there was enough to be found in just the profound observations about waste, death, and the Cold War, but it fails to advance or go deeper into these themes later on in the story.
Maybe parts of it were lost on me, there were so many moments I loved, but it didn’t feature a good balance of themes and plot like DeLillo’s other works.
