BT Henderson’s Reviews > Infinite Jest > Status Update

The seven-and-eight hundreds have been thematically rich. Wallace really should’ve considered cutting some in the five-six hundreds so more people get here

Ready to be done

The last 20 pages could sour this update but I will stay strong in my belief that this is a fantastic work. Truly mind bending in achievement but you must know that the style is so different from a traditional narrative it will take time to accept what you are consuming. Wallace in his own unique way, was a visionary.

What to say, what to formulate, how much to ponder about the first 100 pages. I don’t know. Some parts I’ve really loved and others I’ve repulsed. Many, many readers say it all comes together, but I’m still critical of the number of character hoppings and lack of plot development thus far.
