Beware the Time.com review

[malignd at aol.com]

<<The Time review, just linked at The Modern Word, contains what, in 
most novel descriptions, you could call a pretty comprehensive plot 
analysis. In the case of Pynchon, what it breaks down to is that Lacayo 
reveals (spoils) the fates of a couple of the main characters. Now, 
when one sets out to read a 1,000 page novel, it's with the 
understanding that major events will be sloooowly spelled out--the 
stuff he spoils doesn't happen for several hundred pages in. So, that 
wasn't nice. Admittedly we're not reading Pynchon for the "plot," but 
we do all like surprises and I just thought some of you might like a 
warning.>>

It's also shallow and pointless.  Ignore it, if you fear spoilers.  It 
has little of interest to say.
