Title: Really, I tried
Product review: OK, I borrowed this book on the high recommendation of a friend, who considers it a groundbreaking work. So I read it, hoping for the best.I'm glad that I borrowed it, and did not pay for it.Even with the turmoil and imbalance of Eggers' life, I just couldn't make myself care. Dad died. (Hmm?) Mom died. (Yawn.) Starting struggling magazine (Sigh.) Surrogate parent to younger brother (What, did you say something?)So, sorry, but this doesn't cut it.
