Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

I'd just like to point out that as of currently (Dec 2017) the audiobook has been fixed, and the repeated sections have been edited out.

If any readers were holding out because of what other reviews have mentioned, you no longer need to worry, as the audiobook has been properly re-edited.

Fixed!

George Guidall does a great job of narrating this complicated novel, but I found it challenging to follow the plot of the novel. If you want to really understand this book I think reading it visually is a better strategy. However, I still enjoyed the book and accepted that I would be confused a lot. It's a strange, compelling, and frequently disturbing story, and Pynchon does not tie up a lot of the threads he introduces. I found that it gets much more engaging after the war ends and the story becomes much more colorful.

This is a hard book to listen to it

It would take an entire book to accurately describe what this book is about. As one reviewer put it, "every sentence is a research project."

I found it nearly impossible to figure out wtf was going on most of the time without a guide; even then, you can't have a guide for every sentence.

I gave it 5 stars because it is a brilliant work of art, but that certainly doesn't mean it will appeal to everyone - many will hate it or simply give up on it.

Despite the inherent difficulties of narrating this beast of a book, I didn't care for the staccato style presentation. The chapter breaks seemed random.

Sort of a mash-up of Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse Five, with maybe some Lolita thrown in.
For those who didn’t live through the era, it says a lot about how the tension and ecstasy of victory in WWII turned almost instantly into the Cold War, with a killer that would get you without warning.

Interesting and dark Cold War novel.
