Winner of the National Book Award, White Noise tells the story of Jack Gladney, his fourth wife, Babette, and four ultra­modern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. When an industrial accident unleashes an “airborne toxic event,” a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the “white noise” engulfing the Gladneys—radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings—pulsing with life, yet suggesting something ominous.

I like the writing and the story. The book is funny. The actor reading has a voice that drones a bit and I find myself tuning out and having to rewind because of it

Drags on too much and not much of a story. Should have just borrowed it from the library.

Boring

Didn''t like it at all
