Title: Convoluted, overrated
Product review: I bought this book after reading about it in several newspapers. Unfortunately, finding the motivation to finish it was a chore. Eggers has a unique (and unorthodox) style of writing, but it didn't add much to the book. He writes how we think which at times is garbled and veers off in many tangents. It's clever, but it tested my patience after some time. Sometimes there would be long descriptions and endless ranting that led nowhere. At 21, I've always viewed most people my age as being shallow, callous, and cynical. Dave destroyed my expectations of proving me wrong. I began to loathe the man very quickly. I think the fact that he wrote this book was very narcissistic of him. If there was any character that I admired, it would have to be Toph. He managed to survive living with a messy, unintelligent, and hedonistic individual. I like to think that there's hope for him.
