Cosmopolis - Don DeLillo

This was a strange one, in that I've really enjoyed the other DeLillo books that I've read but I thought this was just awful. It tries to anatomise contemporary America by focussing on a day in the life of a squillionaire as he drives across Manhattan, but I felt that the characters, situations and dialogue were so divorced from reality that it couldn't possibly comment on anything useful. Humourless, self-important and trite.

Tom's Top Tip; read White Noise instead, it's brilliant.
