Title: Very disappointed.
Product review: I bought this book because I read all the glowing reviews it got. Dave Eggers is definitely a witty writer but this memoir is just a jumble of different ideas that never lend themselves to a common theme. The sad part is that this book had so much potential to be great. If Eggers had concentrated his writing on the dynamic between himself and his 10-year-old brother (who Eggers became guardian of when he was 22 years old after the death of both parents) the book would have been great. I found that aspect of the story most compelling.Instead you get stream of conscious prose detailing uninteresting events (even for a 20 something).I found it to be a waste of material.
