"The passing of time and all of its crimes is making me sad again," as Morrissey more succinctly put it. Ada is occasionally delightful, often annoying, and sometimes highly unlikeable, in desperate need of editorial control. For such a repetitive novel, it does leave a strangely powerful impression, leaving the reader to reflect on the nature of beauty, appearance, and desire, the fragile relationship between reality and fantasy and what lies between, and the consequences, intended and unintended, of our actions on others. But there are so many puns and such an excessive amount of wordplay that it becomes an unnecessarily exhausting work that doesn't quite convince.(less)

At times, Gravity's Rainbow does seem a little dated with its jazzy hep-talk and druggy references, but overall it is an astonishing series of images, ideas, and incidents that connect like most things connect - abritarily and randomly, rather than through any God-given order. It's best thinking about it as a sequel not only to V but to The Waste Land - an apocalyptic and threatening world where everyone seeks but fails to find meaning. If, as a reader, you expect to find order and meaning rather than exciting, endless chaos, then you'll be disappointed.(less)

This book is excellent; interesting, thoughtful, reflective, meandering. It's not really that much of a book about cricket, more about using sport or culture as a way of trying to stabilize one's identity, especially when it's so easy to lose one's identity in a shapeless, changing, migratory world.(less)

Many great sentences: "I've never seen a great football player who wanted to learn a foreign language"; "Much of the appeal of sport derives from its dependence on elegant gibberish" - the latter at the beginning of one of the best and funniest descriptions of a sports game I've read. A very funny and a very memorable book.(less)
