falconfeast 's review for:
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
by Dave Eggers
dark
emotional
funny
medium-paced
I understood the overall idea of the book, and I really enjoyed the emotional and funny moments throughout. However, the long monologues didn’t work for me—they kind of dragged the experience down. I get that they’re meant to help you relate or convey the feeling of anxiety during certain phases, but for some reason, they just didn’t sit right with me, maybe because of how I read them. That aside, I genuinely liked the book, especially because the story felt open-ended—it didn’t have a definitive "END" to anything, and I enjoy that kind of narrative.
