Beautiful hubris! Eggers has a style all his own, and I really enjoy reading what he has to say. Wonderful imagery that puts you exactly where he wants you to be. I think I was particulary hooked on this book because it took place in my ‘hood, so I did feel a certain attachment to all the places described.

Also, since it’s an Eggers book, it’s perfectly layed out and typeset (at least the hardcover is…). If you haven’t read all the publishing notes and copyright notices in the front of the book, do go back and read them… you’ll be in for a treat!
