An unique and superbly-written coming-of-age story. Dave Eggers breaks new ground with his innovations which generally poke fun at the conventions and always at himself. The story IS heart-breaking, but you're chuckling too much to focus on exactly how tough the situation is. I'll never forget him or Toph, his brother. They're in my family now.

I don't know - I just didn't get it - maybe I will try again at a later date to read it. I read probably half before putting it down and asking myself why I was wasting my time.
