went through this fucker just because I liked the characters. The ending was a total letdown however and I still have no fucking clue about the motivations of neither Brock Vond nor Frenesi.

now you tell me why this guy is considered one of the most important writers ever, because I just don't get it.

Second rate Pynchon. Which is still better than 90% of the shit you'll read elsewhere.

It's his weakest book, man. Go read Gravity's Rainbow or Mason & Dixon

Haters gon' hate.

I fkn loved Vineland. A real shot in to the American zeitgeist of the 60's and how it led forward in time.
