Title: Save yourself the trouble
Product review: I rarely resort to skimming books, but after about 150 pages, I had to. Eggers let us know pretty much everything that happened to him since his parents died, which did not gel into a captivating story. He is hyper-aware that he is writing a book about himself going through life knowing that everything he does will be documented in his book. It's all too much. The book did not offer anything new, interesting, or insightful. The only reason I kept reading the book is that Eggers talks about a friend of mine in the book. Even so, I don't think it was worth the time.
