Title: Why?
Product review: I had heard the hype. I read the flattering review on the front cover from the New York Times, more just like them on the back cover, the first 3 pages of quotes from all the best magazines and newspapers in the country... I thought I'd be in for an amazing read.But the words were just more fuel for Dave Eggers' conceit. These reviewers must be in the pockets of Vintage Press- that seems to be the only explaination as to why they would praise this book.I found it boring, repetitive, and predictable. I didn't notice a voice or writing style.I struggled to finish it, just to make sure my opinions didn't change. They didn't.Where are the Kerouac's, Bukowski's, Burroughs', and Kesey's of our generation? More importantly, will they get good reviews if they aren't paying for them?
