              Determined to finish reading it despite finding it too drab to the last 3 times I tried.

                veewi Yes, the story itself makes it worthwhile but there's something about the way it's being told I don't care too much for. Can't really say what. It may just be that I expected more from Eggers having had several of his books recommended to me over the years and knowing the acclaim this book alone received.

                Raw Annie @veewi it can be so disappointing to hear great things about a book that doesn't end up living up to expectations. I think that's one of the reasons I ignore critics/charts & such. And the writing is important GAH! so important!

                veewi The writing's the most important, I think. Even if it's award-winning, if it doesn't able to the reader at hand then... I'm going to stick it out this time though and planning on following it up w/Eggers's A Heartbreaking of Work Staggering Genuis. I'm hoping it'll be better since What is the What is a second person account of an autobiography; not Eggers's usual writing style (from what I've heard).

              Balkonnetje even snel opgeruimd en leefbaar gemaakt, nu heerlijk genieten van de zon en proberen m'n boek eindelijk eens uit te lezen! (Maar dan wel de Nederlandse versie)

              Great book! Recommended to me by Ms. Gardner. Probably influencing my artwork.

              It's so good so far. I've always wanted to read Dave Eggers books and finally got around to it.

              Giving Eggers a second chance, so far, I like this.
