Title: pointless rant
Product review: like many other reviewers who found this book distasteful, i got so sick and tired of eggers' wandering, random pomposity that i put the book down two chapters short of the end. i have never gotten so close to the end of a book without feeling any desire to finish it. i didn't even bother reading the last page, because by the time i finally surrendered, my distaste for the often completely unnecessarily verbose writing far outweighed my mild curiosity to know how the story ends. since there didn't seem to be any point to eggers' tale, i can't imagine that i missed much anyway. i have no doubt that eggers has potential to be a clever writer if he can gain a little humility. however, i would skip over this early work. as a full time non-traditional student supporting myself, i find very little time to read recreationally, and i very much wish that i had not waited so long to put this book down for good.
