Mao II: Part 2

After reading through chapter 11 I would have to say that I am not a huge fan of this book.  For one it feels like it takes forever to read because of the crazy switching from one character’s point of view to the next.  It seems like once I actually start enjoying one character’s story, DeLillo would switch to another character and I would have to readjust to what was going on in their story.  Although I have read many books that jump around like this, I found this one to be more frustrating and harder to get into. 

Another thing that I find frustrating is that DeLillo separated all of the characters.  We start out the book with learning how all of the characters came together only to have them be separated from each other.  For most of the book so far, the four main characters are in different places and hardly have any interaction with each other.  Personally, I would have liked to have had the characters be a little bit more connected throughout the story.
