A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

I just love reading a book that has such creativeness in the way it is structured! This book appears to be almost a collection of short stories and yet they are all woven together. Characters appear and reappear in different chapters, and time seems to shift forward and backward constantly. The book reminded me of Olive Kitteredge in how the book brings the characters into different stories. Loved the book and I can see how it would win the awards it's received. - June

Ditto. The title is a bit "off-putting." But the book, itself, is excellent. Buster
