lilias 's review for:

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
4.25
reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Vignettes held together by the connections between characters, however tenuous. I never really strongly loved any of the characters, but I was very invested in each one’s story as I read it. This is one of the books I will think about in the future but not remember what book it is because there are so many moments that seem out of place at first. I love that attribute in a book.
