Is this one of Pynchon's worst? I've read Lot 49, Inherent Vice, and some of Bleeding Edge. I'm really not getting Bleeding Edge so far. I want to try V. and GR eventually, but if it's like this, I think I'll pass.

it's still Pynchon so it's still a good read, but pales in comparison with his best work. Can't blame the old man. Finish the book, son

He wrote it in his 70s while the two you're talking about were written 40-50 years prior. What do you think?

Should've saved it for last, anon. It's one of his weakest and probably not for most people who aren't already keen on his works.

If I was in your shoes, I'd put it down and return to it once I had finished V, GR, M&D and Against The Day.
