This book begins at the end of the last book when former US-sanctioned assassin. "Oliver Stone", takes out two important political figures, then takes a header off a cliff to disappear into the stormy sea. He then tries to blend into the remote mining town of Divine, VA. But too many shenanigans are already in progress there, & Oliver just has this innate sense of justice that won't let him ignore when bad things happen to good people. The Camel Club finds him & comes to the rescue. I like Oliver because he's sixty years old & can still "take a lickin' & keep on tickin'".

A little too suspenseful for me...

I was warned that this book was sad, and it is, yet I relish sad books because I think there more true to life than happy ones (which tells you all too much about my worldview). But beyond whether this book was really very tragic or not, it was well written, and entertaining, and I liked it.

That is to say, if you want a book that's entertaining and well crafted up until the last 50 pages or so, then this is the book for you. Much like "The Return of the King," it would have been better if it had ended 45 minutes earlier. Olympos started off better than its predecessor, Ilium, mostly because I was already invested in the story, having a novel's worth of exposition out of the way. Other than a bit of clunky exposition that reminds us what happened in the previous novel, and one immensely clunky section where one character figures out what's been going on and spends a couple of pages explaining it, it was well written and really kept me interested. About 250 pages from the end it got ridiculously, page-turning, couldn't-put-it-down good. I was riveted and was on my way to giving this novel a rave review. But the climax came a bit abruptly, and the following 50 pages drug on with not terribly good resolution. Some of the chapters at the end were down-right awful, employing story-telling tricks that I remember using in my 8th grade creative writing assignments. Overall, the book was really good. I would've given it 3.5 if I could have. But the last part of the book soured the whole experience for me and I'm a little bitter. Worth reading, but read Ilium first.

I had a difficult time connecting with this book. I thought the story could have been told more effectively without the numerous drawn out descriptions. I found myself skipping over passages to pull out what I thought was important to know about characters and plot.
Usually when some undergraduate English major brings up DFW to me at a keg party I tend auto-file them under "douchebag." Because, let's be honest people - Infinite Jest was profoundly not good. But everything that's irritating about Wallace's thoroughly self-aware postmodern writing style is somehow much more stomachable in smaller bites. Brief Interviews has its highs and lows - the quality is extremely variant between the pieces - but when it's on, it is ON. In fact, Brief Interviews holds moments where Wallace is actually transcendant. If you're looking to buy or borrow this book, take my advice : do not read the whole thing. First, read the interviews. They're the clear highlights, with the last one being, in my opinion, one of the best pieces of short fiction written in the last couple of decades. If you're feeling it at that point, then dive in to the other ones - Octet is a particularly strong, as is Suicide as a Sort of Present. A good percentage of the stories use painfully self aware "tricks" to "challenge" the modern concepts of narration, character, structure, etc -- "tricks" that are now being replicated unendingly in sophomore fiction writing seminars across the world, I'm sure. It's not particularly clever and for the most part detracts from the writing. But in the Interviews, Wallace manages the dialectic narration style more or less beautifully, somehow capturing both the worst and best traits of his characters. These men are hideous; even worse, they are hideously realistic, and I often found my pity or empathy overwelming my initial stomach-churning disgust. These portraits are intimate and familiar; it's like listening in on a conversation of an ex-boyfriend. The last interview is off-the-charts good, mostly because it manages to be both grotesque and quite funny. This is the DFW that people obsess over - tossing around references, satirizing modern society, soaking dialogue in irony. That story alone is worth the price of the book. If you end up loving this book - more power to you. DFW has definitely done things to earn his widespread critical acclaim. Just don't name-drop him to pick up girls at parties, because that makes you an asshole.
