Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

I found it nearly impossible to figure out wtf was going on most of the time without a guide; even then, you can't have a guide for every sentence.
I gave it 5 stars because it is a brilliant work of art, but that certainly doesn't mean it will appeal to everyone - many will hate it or simply give up on it.
Despite the inherent difficulties of narrating this beast of a book, I didn't care for the staccato style presentation. The chapter breaks seemed random.

For those who didn’t live through the era, it says a lot about how the tension and ecstasy of victory in WWII turned almost instantly into the Cold War, with a killer that would get you without warning.
Interesting and dark Cold War novel.

You may wish to read this in tandem or before the audio book, as allusions defy easy comprehension. There is an online wiki that I recommend. Still, there is fun in letting the book carry you along its vertiginous trajectory
Great narration enlivened a long book
