Falling Man

I suppose I admire what DeLillo has done with this book, but I can't say I loved it. There's lots of great language, especially when he's describing the attacks the World Trade Center, but much of the narrative annoyed me, also. I saw no real reason, for example, to have sections from the point of view of one of the hijackers. Perhaps the point was that he was also a falling man, and in some sense, in the plane, that was literally true, but I don't believe it was spiritually true in the same way that the main protagonist Keith was. Anyway, DeLillo fans will like this, but I doubt it will be anyone's favorite. And everyone else should probably give it a pass.
