Title: This is our future generation?
Product review: I enjoyed the first 1/3 of this book - Eggers has some very real & truthful observations about the deaths of his parents that strike a chord many would be afraid to admit to. He also voiced his sudden paternal feelings for his brother in a way that was both humorous & gut-wrenching. But he loses me half-way through his Real World interview when I realize that I'm now going to have the self-centered, self-involved musings of a 20-something thrust at me...page after (yawn) page. I'm truly amazed that so many reviews have been favorable as I felt like I was standing in a dance club with a drink in my hand listening to a child/adult (20-somethings usually think themselves wise beyond their years)pontificating on nothing. Meaningless.
