Title: A strong start, interesting style at first, and then.....
Product review: While I like a well-put sentence as much as the next guy, by the time I got two-thirds of the way through this book, no, wait, maybe 60%, well, OK, maybe 65% of the way through, Eggers' writng style, where he frequently runs-on in tangential, tumescent flights of lacy, breezy, possibly even windy, bloviation in an attempt to make us think he's really really smart, really really REALLY began to wear me down. (There, see - I can do it too!) I found myself skipping large sections of the text in the frequently unrewarded hope that he would sooner-or-later get to the point. Read this book ONLY if you are interested in seeing a writer do the verbal equivalent of catching a Frisbee while simultaneously doing a cartwheel (it's in the book), ad nauseum.
