Title: Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Boredom
Product review: I had read that Dave Eggers is friends with Sarah Vowell and David Sedaris and had hoped that like company meant like creativity. Unfortunately I found Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius to be extremely lacking in the creative department. I will not give up on Eggers just yet, however I'm just confused as to how A Heartbreaking was a Pulitzer finalist. The story lacked continuity and Eggers' attempts to wrap himself in the tragic balcony accident suffered by his friend were tacky at best, pathetic at worst. A Heartbreaking is worth reading, but I caution the reader that it is a definitely underwhelming experience.
