csmonitor review

[David Morris]

You can't expect everyone to enjoy Pynchon.  Also, you should know
that the Christian Science Monitor is a quite respected newspaper,
known for high journalistic standards.   They are NOT fundamentalists.
 In fact, fundamentalists consider them to be a Cult.  Still, their
religion is pretty screwy.

Admittedly, there are some highly entertaining stretches. But just when a reader is settling in to enjoy one, someone will nearly drown in a sea of mayonnaise. Sadly, I'm not being metaphorical.
