a challenge for Wallace-philes

[Christopher James Tassava]

To everyone out there with any interest in David Foster Wallace and his 
lil' book (myself included):

The Twin Cities' great _Hungry Mind Review_ has a review of _IJ_ in its 
most recent issue.  (I have a regular copy, but apparently the _Review_ 
is available on the Net at the Bookwire site.)  The review is, like the 
ten or so other ones I've read, utterly laudatory, and I'm wondering if 
anyone out there has either read a less-than laudatory review of _IJ_ or 
has read the book itself and cares to rip it up.  I mean, I read the 
thing and loved it from start to finish blah blah blah, but I'm getting 
kinda creeped out that it seems like no one ('cept Wallace himself) can
say anything bad about the book.  Please post any such information to the 
list or e-mail me privately if you don't want to use of the Pynchon 
list's time and energy...
