A Visit from the Goon Squad

Hmm. I liked a lot of these as individual stories quite a lot. I'm not quite sure how it worked as a whole novel? It was fun to go back and recognize threads as they were revisited, and some individual stories in this were amazing. I also think maybe my standards for this were raised very high due to this having won pretty much every major literary award? I still liked it a lot but maybe I don't know if anything could live up to all the hype this book has?I remember reading Selling the General in [b:The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007 821708 The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007 Dave Eggers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1382939274s/821708.jpg 2845176] and I think maybe that was my favorite story? But also it was one of the stories that seemed to contribute the least to the overall narrative of the story?Oh, also, the ending??? Was??? Ehhhh???
