Considering I finished this book in a week, I was brought into this world fairly quickly, though disoriented. What Pynchon achieves with an artful use of language (the man can write a paragraph, for sure) he disappoints with sloppy plot. (is he postmodern/post-structuralist... or just bad at structure?). A lot of memorable character-building and funny one-liners are juxtaposed with a general creepiness and relatively anticlimactic ending.
