i really like delillos prose but yeah i seriously cant give a shit about any of the characters here

the best parts are the parts where hes describing shit and not when the characters are doing stuff together/talking

the prologue is the best bit

will finishing it yield a pay-off? Like, do all the thoughts converge and reward me for going through the 800 pages?

Just finish it to say that you did. The epilogue is actually pretty good and ties several of the threads/themes together. I agree with the other poster that for the most part it doesn't live up to the promise of the prologue.

the epilogue is pretty cool

idk if you dont like the prose then dont finish it theres not much point lol

I don't like not finishing books. It leaves a weird feeling in me

then finish it dummy!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't feel like I lost anything for reading all of this, even though it wasn't always super rewarding. DeLillo's prose is god-like, and some of his metaphysical/physical description tangents are really beautiful, the characters are never consistently interesting and the plot is not that compelling. The writing itself pulled me through.

i also loved all the film stuff in the middle with Cocksucker Blues and EIsenstein's lost movie. i honestly think Point Omega is his best piece of writing though.
