This was my first book by Don Delillo. White Noise starts off strong: a quirky, satirical family + an airborne toxic event + an evacuation + impending death and destruction. The first half of the book was brilliant but it took a very drastic turn down from there. The last 150 pages contained a few interesting lines on mortality and death but not much more than that. It became somewhat painful to finish.

While I will certainly read more of DeLillo’s works, I wouldn’t recommend White Noise.

Are there any books that come to mind with a strong start but you had to trudge through to finish?

Any of DeLillo’s other books that I should check out?
