A review by dphilton
Heroes of the Frontier by Dave Eggers

3.0

I've read a lot of Dave Eggers books by now and Heroes of the Frontier is not up to his highest standard. But, that's a lot to ask every time of someone who cranks out books one after another. In this one, very much cast in the shadow of Into The Wild, Josie is a washed-up dentist and an unreliable narrator. She yanks her two weird kids out to Alaska and then drives this way and that in a Chateau RV that tops out at 45. Along the way, she finds meaning in what's left of her life and she makes possibly not the best mothering choices. Still, it's Eggers so it is entertaining.
