A review by scheu
You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers

3.0

A twentysomething kid from Wisconsin, along with a friend, travels across the world to give away money and cope with the death of his brother. Inconsistent overall. Eggers composed some great passages, but these were interspersed with some awfully preachy writing that I found unappealing. The character were so, so naive. Without the brother subplot to provide some much-needed heft to the story, this would have been a bad road-trip novel. Overall, though, I still liked the book.
