I guess you will either love or hate this one. Dave Eggers's title pretty much gives you a clue to him. This is apparently a memoir. It got wonderful reviews from some very prestigious groups, people, papers, etc. if what he wrote about is true, then I guess I can understand more about this book. Pain, heartbreak, family ties, and ultimately love and triumph. I liked it. Two friends I lent it to didn't. Decide for yourself.
