Review of 'A Visit From The Goon Squad' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This was a blast. I took a while to get into it - found the first 100 pages difficult and then the next 300 a blast. At times I felt the extremely chaotic (and fun!) sliding between characters and perspectives a bit much, and I feel like some ends could have been tied up less loosely. That being said it was a pleasurable experience. The power point section I absolutely adored and found extremely moving (I cried!) which is very cool. An amazing way of conveying a child’s understanding / ability to reconcile their reality with their feelings. Top notch.
