A Visit From the Goon Squad


A Visit from the Goon SquadA Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another book that I have read on the iPad and not sure if it is affecting my appreciation of the book or not.  I did confirm I like to go back and reread parts before I move on and that isn't as convenient in electronics.

The story intertwines over years of friends and acquaintances who are in the music industry.  I jumps a bit back and forth, and characters who are introduced in chapter one reappear many chapters later.  The story at one point in written using powerpoint--at first irritating me because I deal with too much .ppt but then intriguing me with the creative use of dialogue and movement.  And, now I will listen for the pauses in rock and roll.

Read recommendation?  Probably yes.
