A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
4.0
Ooh, we got ourselves here a PEW-LITZAH! This is a book that needs constant attention and, if you're smart, a pen and paper so you can jot down quick character profiles so you can keep it straight. I did not do this.
Think of the chapters as a collection of short stories told from the perspective of characters who all overlap one way or another. While there is no over-arching plot, you can mentally line up the trajectories of these denizens and delinquents into those of dreams left unrealized and the unrelenting savagery of time.
Also, 10 points for writing an entire chapter in PowerPoint format and making it one of the most touching stories in the book.
