What Is the What by Dave Eggers
4.0

This book totally made me rethink my position on Dave Eggers. I really hated A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius but when not writing about himself Eggers is very effective. This is an incredibly moving, engrossing true story about one of the Lost Boys from Sudan, and Eggers clear, simple prose style and narrative devices work incredibly well. And reading the little about the author blurb in the back reminded me that Dave Eggers has done a lot of really good things with his money and notoriety. Rock on Dave!
