Falling Man was the first DeLillo book that I've read, and really enjoyed his writing style. I have a couple more of his books that I'll be reading shortly, Libra and White Noise. While I liked his style, this wasn't my favorite book.
The topic is 9/11 victims, and dealing with the impact of 9/11 on the survivors. I'm not sure what was missing for me, but something just felt missing. The characters just seemed a little uninteresting, despite the topic. Without the draw of strong characters either positive or negative, it left me with a feeling that something was missing. I'm hoping that I like the next DeLillo book I read better, because something about his style made me think the next book could be much better.
My rating: 3 1/2 stars
