lindsayherndon82 's review for:
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
by Dave Eggers
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is a memoir, but reads like a novel. A lot of what the author went through is emotionally heavy, but the book is overall quite funny. The things I liked best were that it really embodied the atmosphere of the 90's (as it should, seeing as it he wrote it then); and a lot of the thoughts the author had about social interactions, when I read them I would think, "Hey, I've always thought/done that too" but I never realized it or never was able to express it. My favorite part of the book is:
"We sing while we are making dinner. We sing regular words, words about pouring the milk or getting the spaghetti sauce, though we sing them in opera-style. We can sing opera-style, too. It is incredible." I felt that this part was totally me. Great book, completely worth your time.
