Title: how frustrating...
Product review: This book starts out fine and is interesting to begin with...then you start to realize how contrived it all sounds (not necessarily the story, but the actual writing). It's almost as if Eggers sat back before writing each sentence and thought to himself, "how can I write this in a way that makes me seem as smart as possible?" As a result, he created a pretentious novel (although it may seem genius to those who go out of their way to be "offbeat")...I was so annoyed by the 200th some page I could not even finish it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
