Not difficult to see why this is considered a masterpiece. The way Wilde phrases his sentences often made me go back and re-read them because they're so richly textured and witty. Beautifully written with a compelling protagonist to boot.
Every sentence in the book is eloquent, and the prose is so enchanting that it made me take my time going through the story just to saviour its beauty.
Entertaining series of vignettes about American consumer culture, the absurdity of life and fear of death. The only problem is DeLillo consistently beats the reader over the head with it to the extent that it becomes laborious to read in the last third.
