Brilliant in every way. Imagine if he’d finished it… argh.

What can one say about David Foster Wallace that hasn't already been said? Truly, he was brilliant, funny and original. I enjoyed this novel immensely, but it was a work-out.

I am having a problem with the footnotes too. The footnote numbers are all there in the text and the first few work o.k. But after that, when I tap any footnote, it always directs me back to footnote #1 again. So I don't know if the other footnotes are missing or I just can't access them. It's pretty annoying since footnotes are very important with DFW. The book itself is full of wonderfully moving human stories. So I still love the writer and love the book but as a reading experience it is a disappointment.

Just started this. But I wanted to note that the book I downloaded does indeed contain the footnotes. Because of the prior review, I spent a good deal of time searching for reviews of the footnote experience on kindle and iBooks. Even if there was a problem with the ePub file that caused the prior reviewer not to see the footnotes, it has been corrected.

The iBook version does not include the footnotes. As with Infinite Jest the footnotes are key to hearing the author's personal voice.
