Query: Terrible...No plot, no story line....

I rated this book "1 Star" only because there is no rating lower...If Thomas Pynchon has a plot or a story line, he surely has hidden it very well.. I slogged through more than 25 hours of reading trying to discover the plot ot story line, hoping that each subsequent chapter would get better..But no, just an endless series of unconnected and unrelated ramblings... Hundreds of unrelated and disconnected characters too.. Some as ridiculous as a talking dog, and a robot duck... One could read this book from front to back, back to front, or from the middle both ways and not be able to tell the difference.. Thomas Pynchon surely must have been smoking something more powerful than plain tobacco when he wrote this debacle... And the readers who rated it higher than "1 Star" must have been smoking something too.. A complete waste of time... Never again will I read anything by Thomas Pynchon....
