How We Are Hungry Audiobook

" A great collection of short stories that defines a generation of people who, well, are hungry. The great part about the series of stories is just connecting with the selfish and the melancholy characters while also being able to judge them from afar. "

" Brilliant. In every sense of the word. Can't even pick my favorite story from this one but as you read on they are layered together to form one strong and solid piece of work. "

" Damn you, Eggers, ya aimed for my heart and ya got it. Not all of the stories won me over but the ones that did, did they ever. "

" Short stories suit Mr. Eggers better than memoirs, in my humble opinion. "

" I've read everything in the Dave Eggers repertoire, and I would call myself a "fan," but these stories were hard to get behind. I'd say, read them if you're curious, but don't be afraid to give up on a few. "

" Strange, but painfully real. "

" Some good short stories in here, a few fall flat, but overall worth it. When he's "on' I really like his style. "

" I think I like Eggers' short stories more than most because I'm not really getting invested into any characters or stories and am more focusing on the fun, stream-of-conscience writing. "

" When it comes to books of short stories, I rate the book on my favorite short story. So - I remember really liking one of them in there, but I don't know that I've read them all. Again, gotta love Eggers' packaging. "

" A woman thru-hiking the pacific coast trail passed this book on to me. The writing is good, but couldn't really get into it much. There were a few gems, though. "

" this book is stunningly beautiful. "

" I usually don't like short stories, but I absolutely loved some of these. "

" Amazing so far. Very funny, dark and light at the same time. "

" At times a little preachy, but otherwise some fantastic writing in there. "

" Wasn't typical Eggers, and found myself disliking more stories than I liked. Favorites: "Another," "The Only Meaning of the Oil-Wet Water," Your Mother and I." "

" It was a decent read. Some of the stories were excellent, but as a whole, it does not compare to Eggers' other books. If you haven't read Eggers before, don't start with HWAH...but if you've gotten through everything else he's written and are still hungry for more, give this one a shot. "

" Not typically a lover of short stories, some of these I found to be priceless. Not sure I would recommend the whole book, but it is good airplane reading. "

" Slow starter, but the last half of this collection is gold. "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned" is near perfection. "

" Beautiful. There's a story about an Erin that disturbs the name, but all the same it's wonderful. "

" Not his best but a good selection of short stories. "

" A bunch of short stories that are strange, funny, and written in a unique way. Very interesting and enjoyable. "

" Dave Eggers strikes again with a stupendous--and wide ranging--collection of short stories. "

" i rarely get into short stories, but these were gorgeous. they were sort of like wilco or sufjan stevens songs. "

" An exceptional collection of stories. "

" 1st couple of stories were interesting and unusual but didn't really grab me. but from the 4th story on, I loved it. I found it endlessly inventive with a wonderful turn of phrase. Insightful, quirky, funny and taking the reader to the edge of the possibilities of the short story. "

" love eggers, loved half the stories. standout was when they learned to yelp. it is like eggers created humans. how does he know? "

" disappointingly mediocre.. after reading A Heartbreaking Work i really wanted to read everything this man has ever written. sad. "

" A lovely collection. Eggers has talent, though I'm not sure if many--or any--of these stories will quite linger with me. Perhaps my favorite was the piece written as a story proposal. "

" Much of the writing is beautiful but it's ultimately boring. Eggers is in love with the sound of his own voice. Sacrificing cleverness for story is not a bad thing. "

" My favorite story was "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned". Eggers is a beautiful writer and this particular story had me in tears - wonderful way to end the collection of short stories. "

" I read this awhile ago but recently reread my favorite story of the batch, "The Only Meaning of the Oil Wet Water," and was reminded of Eggers' skill with language and his playful disregard of "the rules." Good stuff. "

" Very show-offy. Some of the stories I could see something behind the brilliance, some of them I couldn't. And they were all brilliant, but that's not anything in and of itself. "

" Beautiful. There's a story about an Erin that disturbs the name, but all the same it's wonderful. "

" By far the most wonderful story is the last one "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned." You must read it, no exceptions! "
