This is one of the most challenging works of fiction out there, and that includes books outside the fantasy and science fiction realm. It’s a rewarding read to the people who are willing to brave the immense length and post modern diatribes that come with it.
If you pick up Infinite Jest you will either love this book or hate it. This book isn’t for everyone. Taking a look at the Amazon reviews, you can see the masses would agree with that statement as the two highest star ratings are one and five. Personally, I believe this is a brilliant story – especially at the conceptual level. For ye brave souls who pick up this book, get ready to be sucked into endless conversation with those who have read it, and get ready for some blank stares from people who haven’t read it and are wondering why anyone would spend their time reading a book like this. In my personal opinion Infinite Jest is brilliant, simply put.
