Polly's review
A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius
by Dave Eggers
I'm so uncool, I didn't even know it was cool to hate on Dave Eggers. I, too, fucking love this book. And I'm not afraid to say it to anyone!
One of the best things about being an adult, is that you don't HAVE to be cool, anymore.
Word.

look. it's cool to hate on dave eggers.
it's *so cool* to be post-dave-eggers, and talk about how you didn't really like this book all that much, and it's even cooler to totally hate this book. it's like a coolness interview question. "did you like his book?" "yeah, I really did." "well, we can't be friends with *you*..."
this is just like those hipsters who don't like justin timberlake. fuck you, hipsters. that new album is solid gold.
I loved this book. I loved it, and I still love it. I wish to god I had sent away for the optional large-scale flow chart. at one point in my life, I had several (*several*) copies of this book, and I gave them away and lent them out and now I have none. one of those copies was practically destroyed with the underlining and highlighting and dog-earing-of-pages I practiced on it. I wish to god I still had that one.
and listen, cool kids. deep in the uncool heart of you, you loved it too. so step of
