There are illuminating moments of deep insight followed by passages mired in strange, surreal tableaux. I *think* this book is supposed to juxtapose deconstructionist language and criticism of consumerism with a philosophical discussion of death, but the plotting and language is so obtuse, it's hard to tell.
If you've never read DeLillo, stop, pass Go, and then go read White Noise instead. I'm a DeLillo fan, and even I can't decide if I think this book is brilliant or just bad. I'll probably be debating this for awhile.
