Hey, where is “A Visit from the Goon Squad” ??? Best thing I’ve read all year.

Just read that one recently. I liked it, just didn’t have enough to say to write a deep review. I know people either love or hate the PowerPoint chapter– for me it was the latter. My other beef was that it gets called a novel, but really it’s a collection of short stories.
More than Good Squad, I’d recommend Look at Me. fantastic.
