I really enjoyed this book. The liner notes said something about this book not being in Pynchon's usual genre. After wasting some time speculating as to what genre to assign his previous works I got down to reading. This book is pure Pynchon, full of humour and dark shadowy conspiracies lurking just below the surface. More reminiscent of Vineland than Gravity's Rainbow it is a light read. But, I still contend that you don't need a masters in literature to enjoy Pynchon.
