Discussion: Dave Eggers so, wow, I've only read the intros to the book...all the stuff beside the actuall book, and I am already amazed, and agree that it tis turly a heartbreaking work of stagering genius. I can hardley contain myself from becoming completely anti-social for the next couple of days, and finihsing the book. >>By GRant maybe I will >>By Grant why the hell not? >>By Grant I have nothing to lose >>By Grant This book was really, really, really, really, really.......really really good. Really. >>By moose kaka i love AHWOSG, did not like you shall know our velocity as much. >>By raine77 Though I was all psyched up for Heart Staggering Work.....I found it incredibly disappointing. And seriously, I have been in San Francisco for over two months, and been to the east coast so I could identify with the locations... he just wrote way too much..... way too indulgent..... It was like a 24 year old got lucky with a publisher.... but on reading You Shall Know Our Velocity....I saw where the publisher saw promise.... not a great or fantastic book..but filled with promise...... if you like the style I recommend James Frey.... - k (i.a.g.t.b.e.a.b.e.) >>By iwishiwereabondgirl i just finished What is the What. . . jesus. . .what an amazing book! it's beautiful and terrifying and brilliant. . . i don't know about any of Eggers other books but i'd definitely recommend this one! >>By drowninginflame I really didn't like you shall know our velocity. self indulgent to the point where i just quit halfway through. wouldn't recommend that one. >>By othatdanielle I really liked "How we are Hungry"! It's perfect for those of you who are busy as heck and don't want to get too sucked into a novel. Short stories for the win! >>By speakstories Personally, I preferred Eggers' "How we are Hungry" over "The Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". His work is cleaner and better developed. I found myself completely absorbed in the characters...great book! >>By balloons!! Just finished "What is the What." I just scheduled a visit with two men from the Sudan in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm looking forward to talking to them about some of the things I learned from this book. >>By Hume Ungus
