Mark Van myfitdocto9350 — First thought: this is a book that shouldn't work, but does. Why does it work so well? ...OK, I think I'm stealing that observation from another Goodreads review that I read and must have internalized way back when I was working at the bookstore, and I apologize for that if it's your opinion I'm aping. I read a ton of reviews of this right after the store first got it, occasionally stopping in Fiction while shelving to admire the texture of the jacket, wondering, what's the big deal about this book to warrant such a neat packaging? Cover love aside, I didn't want to read it until it recently started winning every award in history (or just the National Critics Book Circle Award, whatevs). Fiction about the lives of lapsed celebrities, big-shot producers, and the people around them holds no interest for me, in that the rendering of actual celebrity lives in print usually reads fake and inauthentic as is. If it's hard to write good nonfiction about celebrity lives (maybe I haven't read enough Truman Capote or Gay Talese), it's probably even harder to write good fiction on the subject. The combination of the speaking and thinking in platitudes that runs rampant in celebrity journalism are certainly to blame for its fake feeling. But there's also how similar and cliched many of the details of celebrity lives are -- addictions, regular people being stunted by their glow, hard work at a young age, connections. Who wants to read an imitation of an imitation? Like, I know that the film Crazy Heart and Jeff Bridges' performance in it was widely considered to be Pretty Good, but it was an imitation of an imitation and it felt that way to me, and I love Jeff Bridges so it pains me to say that. Having read A Visit From the Goon Squad, I agree that the book is both worthy of its jacket and absolutely would not have worked without Egan's talent for building real-seeming lives out of small details and earth-shattering moments equally. Egan's skills lie in the realm of being "humane" and "insightful." But I use those words whenever I am jazzed about characterization, which is 75% of what excites me about books I enjoy, and it's boring to keep repeating those words when what I mean is that if you are also a person with a deep, almost voyeuristic curiosity about other people, then you will enjoy this book. There are few observations about or attempts at deconstructing celebrity life, thank god. Even the ones that are here feel real enough to pass. Some of the best stories are about mega-producer Bennie's assistant Sasha and the people who dart in and out of her life. I am in love with how the first chapter finds Sasha in her 30s in NYC on a date with a random guy, taking him back to her apartment for sex and him seeing a picture of "her friend, Rob, who drowned in college" and then nine chapters later, you get the story "Out of Body" about this guy Rob Freeman, in college. You go through the rush of his feelings in second person, and Sasha's a character (and an important character to Rob) but you wonder where it's all going, and then he jumps naked into the East River at the end in a moment of catharsis and at this point in the book you've been through so many other people's lives, but suddenly you remember, oh my god the first chapter. Really, the interconnectedness of everyone in this book is brilliant. Egan flirts with the space of story, letting incidental characters have a full lifespan too; at the risk of sounding like a cornball, the book succeeds in reflecting real life so well partly because in life, too, there's no such thing as a "secondary character." Before I start talking about Buddhism (in an uninformed way, even!) or pass out from thinking about how every single person I walk by has a full life of experience and feeling, has been loved or treated like shit by someone else with a full life independent of the person I've just passed!...here are my favorite parts of the book: - 4, "Safari" - 10, "Out of Body" - 6, "X's and O's" - The PowerPoint slide on page 191, "What Lincoln Wants to Say/Ends Up Saying" Also, I googled the Minoan octopus design of Bennie's wife's tattoo. It's cool.

Adam Green wrokred — Very funny.

Angela Cheong angelangelangela — Somehow I still hang on with Agatha even though I've given up on almost every other mystery series I used to read. I'm not sure why really, I don't even like her that much, but I guess they're short. Or maybe I think THIS TIME SHE WILL FINALLY GET HER LIFE IN ORDER. She won't, of course.

Tanya Knyazeva knyazevati7579 — This is my FAVORITE classical book. I love the story so much. Who wouldn't love a romance where the man loves a woman who works for him, but is too proud (at first) to say anything to her? Sigh. Wonderful. Plus it's surprisingly easy to read for a 19th century book.
