Author: Jennifer Egan
Publication Date: June 8, 2010
From Goodreads:
Bennie is an aging former punk rocker and record executive. Sasha is the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Here Jennifer Egan brilliantly reveals their pasts, along with the inner lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs. With music pulsing on every page, A Visit from the Goon Squad is a startling, exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption.
This is another one of those books that I was desperate to get my hands on when it first came out because everyone and their mothers were talking about it's awesomeness. When I didn't get it right away, it slowly fell off my radar. Has anyone read it? Does it live up to the hype?
What is your heart's desire this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll be sure to stop by!
This book is on my wishlist too. I think it's been there forever.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share some On My Wishlist news. I've decided to take over hosting the linky until Cosy Books returns. I'd love to see you link up on Jul 7.
