Sacrament by Dave Eggers

5.0

I love this book. But I found that it was harder to reread it for the fourth time because I was going through it like I did the last time I read it, which was for my Independent Study on Dave Eggers. I kept seeing things pop out at me that I wanted to write down to add to the paper I wrote on it, and I couldn't really do that while on a plane.

BUT. I love this book. Did I already say that? I just wish the "interruption" was more like an addendum, because I hate hate HATE where he put it in the book. I read it the first time before Eggers put in the interruption so when I read it the second time I was floored... and I feel like sticking it in where it is makes a pretty random stop and it makes it practically impossible to read the rest of the novel with any sense of purpose. SO if you're going to read this, PLEASE skip the interruption and read it at the end. I would never tell someone to rearrange an author's intentions under normal circumstances, but since I've now read YSKOV without the interruption, then with it in its proper place, then finally skipping it and reading it at the end... it's just so much better to read it when you're done with Will's narrative. Sorry, Dave. I love you, but I HATE where that interruption occurs.

Rant complete.
