What readers think of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, plus links to write your own review.

Sweet, laugh out loud sort of book. There is humour in everything and its fun to ride along on the thought process and decision making of the main character. Sometimes he makes you feel like a hypocrit (sp?) and points out the should-be -obvious, which isn't really obvious at all until he tells you. You'll catch yourself going "hmmm weird" alot.

A Hearbreaking Work is one of the most powerrful works of literature i have ever read. Eggers imagination and vivid storytelling skills are incredible. The fact that he follows his train of thought with such confidence is what makes this book a beatiful work.

Modern and staggering book. Dissapointing end and would not recommend anyone to read this book. In my oinion Eggers staggers too much.

This book is soooo good. I know it sounds corny, but it really made me realize i wasn't alone in some of the things i do. I, too, have a younger brother who I helped raise, and before reading this book i felt as if some of the feelings i had were so ridiculous. Like... when Eggers talks about how he would check every night to make sure his brother was breathing. I did that too! I don't know...maybe it's still weird, but it still feels better to know that someone else did that too. I'm 17, but i think people of every age would really like it. I love this book, and strongly advise anyone to read it. Dave Eggers has this incredible knack for describing things. While reading this book, i could smell the smells and see the sights sooo clearly.

dave eggars is an amazing writer. "ahwosg" is so captivating, it is impossible not to love. read it!!!

I didn't simply read the book, it was more like the book read me, it controlled me to the point where I could not put it down. It's a container of emotions, and every time I opened it they all splurged out, blended, and captivated me.

Loved the book. Intelligent without that cool detachment. Moving without being melodramatic.

dave eggers is my hero. ;x except, i read the book way too long after the publishing date and now i can't get my five bucks. blast.
