rating*:
i completely resisted don delillo until last summer, when matt somehow convinced me to read white noise and i ended up really liking it. the names turned out to be pretty good as well. there's an interesting thread that goes through about cult murders related to names and letters and stuff like that. i also really liked the narrator's relationship with his estranged wife. one thing i really hate is that delillo doesn't use a lot of tags when he writes dialogue, so i'm constantly counting back to the last "he said" to figure out who's talking when. and if the conversation involves three characters, forget about it; i'm totally lost. still, there were parts in the book where i got lost in the narrative in a good way, so i guess it all evens out.
*henceforth, ratings will be based on a scale of one to five robots. one is the worst, five is the best. half robots are also considered to be valid.
