A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD

By: Jennifer Egan

Plot Summery: I don't even know.

Thoughts: This book was so original and really unlike anything I've read in a while. Each chapter focuses on a new character and sometimes they seem so random and insignificant but yet they all fit together at the end. I was sooo sure I knew who the last chapter would focus on, but I was wrong! It was unpredictable and you never knew what was coming next.

I'll admit I was so confused at first but once you get into the book and figure out what the author's doing you just go with it. I like unconventional things in books, and this book did not disappoint. I loved the chapter of a power point presentation, it just fit. 

There were some things that I didn't like, how everyone seemed to be doing drugs for example, that's just not my thing. There was also one really sleazy character that I hated, but I guess that's the point. Also, there were so many character's names to keep track of! And I'm horrible at that so that was kind of a drag.

Favorite Quotes: "Time's a goon."

Rating: 4/5 A fun book to read.
