Customer Reviews
One of the world’s truly great books
DFW had a concern that even the most complex and serious book should be fun and enjoyable for the reader. His attention to that concern is evident the whole way through this incredible, profound, beautifully written, addictive and fun opus. Turns out, he was a prophet too, seeing some things coming way before they did in fact come to pass. Could not recommend Infinite Jest more highly. Have listened to it & read it over and over, seeing more every time.
