Title: A great book
Product review: This book was recommended to me by my mom, whose brother (my uncle) introduced it to her. I think the best thing about the book is that he deals with an obviously tragic part of his life with such great humor. This book is a memoir that takes place over 5 years. Dave Eggers is about 22 years old when his parents die within a couple of months of each other, both of cancer. His sister is in law school and his brother is working in politics, so Dave is left to take care of their 9-year-old brother. What ensues is what you would expect to happen when you have a slacker-ish 20-something raise a child. They move around a lot, but Toph (the boy) adjusts quite well wherever they are. Dave is always paranoid that something will happen to him and orphan Toph, but everything is fine. This book is one for anyone who wants to read a tragic story, but confronted with great humor.
