Here is what people are saying about the A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
4 Star Rating  "book"2009-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A26QNNUZ3FGDZ4
recommended reading for people from chicago with a brain in their head. l.a people may be offended with the candor.

We used it for a book discussion, my sons and I, we all read it from a different perspective, siblings, students, caretaker, young men starting their careers. We all enjoyed it. Funny, sad, thought provoking.
 
1 Star Rating  "Terribly dissapointing, couldn't read past the first 50 pages"2009-07-31
- Reviewed By safire_rain
I started the book expecting a lot. Instead it reads like a very unedited diary of a boring, self-indulgent person. I don't see the hype, this book should have gone through a ton of editing and should have lost the "notes for a novel," stilted diary prose. I couldn't get past the first fifty pages even though I tried to force myself to keep reading in the hopes it would get better. I skipped around to later parts but the story could not capture my attention.
 
1 Star Rating  "Trite, Self-Absorbed, "Posh" Writing"2009-07-15

Dave Eggers has become the champion of hip writers today, and not without reason: he is a remarkable stylist. Sadly, that is all he is. His ironic, self-deprecating humor is completely transparent for what it really is: self-obsession. Many have called A Heartbreaking Work emotionally honest, but it doesn't strike me that way at all. I find Eggers brutally dishonest--for all his fear of bathos, he is extremely sentimental. Wallace Stevens called sentimentality a failure of emotion, and that is exactly what characterizes the whole of A Heartbreaking Work. Perhaps the book would be more emotionally honest if the author weren't so rampantly self-obsessed and prone to incessant navel-gazing and posturing. But that is the only hip writer is good at: posturing. This book is utterly, irritatingly pretentious.

Dave eggers wites beautifully about this hard coming of age lessons. This author has a great sense of humor, but also gives light to the seriousness of family and responsibility.
 
5 Star Rating  "Breaking The Dave Eggers Seal"2009-06-23
- Reviewed By User: A2VGFKM06A8VHW
I will always love this book, because it gave me Dave Eggers. I was going through my own heartbreak when I first picked it up, so maybe that has something to do with the immediate emotional attachment I felt to his story, but I suspect his undeniable talent had something to do with it as well. He made me laugh. He made me cry. He made me want to write a novel. I could have done without the gimmicky bookends, but they by no means took away from my enjoyment of this heartbreaking work of staggering genius, and, now that I see what Egger's has gone on to do with his rock star status, I can appreciate those quirky touches, which remain in tact to this day & in full evidence in the way he presents McSweeneys & The Believer, as well as his passion for kids & making words fun.
