Title: Only Genius In Heartbreaking Work...Is "Marketing Genius"
Product review: I so hated this book and I was so disappointed that I hated this book. Although I admire Eggers dedication to his brother, his account of the years following his parents' deaths read like one aggregiously long sophomoric essay on what I did on my summer vacation, year 1, year 2 year 3 etc. Although it started out rather promising, and there were snippets of humorous antecdotes, and insights, they were few and far between. Definately too sparce a crop to keep the book moving for nearly 400 pages. Maybe the male, under 20 crowd might enjoy it. I have donated my copy to my library, hopefully it will save someone some shipping and handling. Overall, bad hardback purchase, but you gotta admire his "marketing genius".
