A review by caitgoss
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

2.0

This book was very self-conscious, and really meta, which made it kind of weird to read. Two things predisposed me to really like this book:
1) Dave Eggers was one of the co-founders of the 826 Valencia project, which is the driving force behind the SUPERHERO SUPPLY STORE, which is one of my favorite places on EARTH.
2) Introduction features a quote from his younger brother that says "OOOoo look at me, I'm Dave I'm soooooo important I'm writing a book" only, you know, in words that honestly made me laugh out loud.

Then there was a lot of angst. And stylistic writing.
