Title: promising but so disappointing
Product review: How does stuff like this get published? Parts of it were so funny but most of it was so juvenile. I have a son about Eggers' age, and this would be exactly what would happen if MY son were to care for an 8 year old. Scary! The parts about his parents' deaths and the scattering of ashes at L. Michigan rang so true...I've scattered a parent's ashes, and lots of what he said was so poignant and well-written. But so much of this was so juvenile and so ill-thought out. Did he have an editor?? The majority was so very precious and self-serving...The liberal use of profanity, particularly the F-word, is SO slacker and so unimaginative. I sense a talent here, but one that needs major cultivation and discipline.
