I'm not sure I can say too much about this book that will be insightful or relatable in any way. I loved this book pretty much from the beginning, and while some parts were slow, almost all of it was meaningful. The various storylines and their progressions give the book an air of mystery, and Wallace's prose and shifting narrative styles are really a joy to read. It's also funny, poignant, and truly a rollercoaster ride in the best ways. 
 I really don't know what I can say about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It seems a bit backwards to be left speechless by a book that had so much to say, but that's what's happening now. 
 I read this book in tandem with Elegant Complexity: A Study of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, which I highly recommend. 
 In my eyes, David Foster Wallace was a really prescient writer who had the amazing ability to weave a coherent story in the most incoherent way. I'm fairly confident that I'll never read anything like this again, and if I do, it won't affect me like this book did. 
 The settings, characters, social commentary, and really the amazing dialogue all served to make this book an immensely gratifying experience. 
 I feel like this is a book I'll revisit time and time again; I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it wasn't this. 
 If you haven't taken the plunge, I highly recommend you do so. The book may not be as enthralling for you as it was for me, and I could see it having a very different effect on others, but I don't think people are exaggerating when they say that this is a modern classic. Carve out two months, and immerse yourself in the fascinating alternate reality that Wallace has created. The characters you'll meet and the situations you'll encounter are worth your time. 
 Sorry about what might be the least helpful review ever written. I'm just kind of at a loss.
