suzzeb22 's review for:
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
by Dave Eggers
I enjoyed this book quite a lot. Eggers has a funny way of describing things and the reader, I feel, is able to relate to what he's getting at even if on the surface it seems crass, lewd, mean or callous. He struggles with everyday things with angst, horrible life-changing things with humour or boredom and yet is still our protagonist. He really evokes no sympathy at times but yet I found myself rooting for him anyway. A good read. Hard to describe or recommend to everyone but readers of McSweeney's will most certainly enjoy his writing. I also have to comment on the opening sequence which describes how the book "works" or is laid out. Very amusing...
