Title: Maybe it's because I am not Gen X.....
Product review: but I found this book to be very tedious, pretentious and self-conscious in a very egotistical sort-of way. The first 109 pages were fairly interesting, the remainder is very difficult to read as the authors self-absobtion ( and his self-absorbed fears about his self-absorbtion ) become a metaphysical game rather than interesting literature. Perhaps age will improve Mr. Eggers writing- he has skill certainly- but could use alittle context outside his own thoughts. I finished the book out of duty only.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
