Not so much a review as a general article on the responses of folks we  
all know:

Pynchon's Drugstore Thriller
The reclusive novelist offers his most accessible-and commercial-work  
yet
By ALEXANDRA ALTER
Branding a Thomas Pynchon novel as "light reading" seems almost as far- 
fetched as one of the author's hallucinatory plotlines involving time  
travel or a dog that reads Henry James.

Yet his latest offering, "Inherent Vice," a noir-like novel set in Los  
Angeles at the end of the 1960s, is being billed as his most  
accessible novel to date. Landing three years after his 1,085-page  
epic "Against the Day," the 384-page book has been labeled a "novella"  
by literary bloggers. The Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles is  
handling film rights . None of Mr. Pynchon's previous complex,  
postmodern novels have been adapted to the screen.
