Title: I wanted to like it, but...
Product review: Incredibly overrated. This is the "type" of book I normally love. It kept coming up in my recommendations, so I finally broke down and bought it. Eggars is trying way too hard, and he desperately needed a better editor. There are some beautifully-turned phrases alongside some incredibly trite, freshman English class ones.The best part about the paperback is the acknowledgements. It's all slowly downhill from there.
