Potresno delo zapanjujuće genijalnosti

I heard so many great things about this book and Dave Eggers. Found this book to be insane though - Eggers has got to be one of the most verbose writers I have ever experienced. He could probably have told his stories in half the number of pages.

My love for this book is improbable at best. I usually can't stand this kind of style. In the summary above, Mary Park calls it memoir as metafiction. I call it McSweeneyism. I find it excruciating.

So the fact that I love AHWOSG -- can still remember the first line, in fact -- perplexes me. I try not to dwell on it. Maybe you don't need a reason to fall in love, with a book or anything else.

3.5/4. Honestly really enjoyed this. Tedious at times but poignant and often really really affective.

This book is special to me in that it's the most ambiguous I've ever felt about a book. I both loved it and hated it all at once. It was difficult to reconcile.
