You Shall Know Our Velocity: (Or, Sacrament) Audiobook

" Really disappointed in this one, having liked Dave Eggers' work before, but I just couldn't get into this one. "

" I couldn't even finish this book! "

" My current (as in, over the last 5 years or so) favorite book! Love it! "

" This is the version with Hand's interlude. I'm really kind of super sad I didn't read the original, I might have liked it. I really want to like certain things about this book, some of the ideas and themes (even though Eggers hand is so fucking heavy with everything that it's a little insulting). Trying to describe the book I told someone "It's okay if you squint at it" which I think means that it's okay if you don't look at all of it and ignore parts of it. I really want to like this book, I really want to sympathize with a character that needs to run away when things get hard and with the feeling of needing to move, but I can't because the characters are poorly developed, and kind of dumb. This book makes me sigh. "

" This book is one of the most frustrating novels I have read. The characters have good back stories, the overall premise is great, and the opening paragraph is brilliant. That main issue I have is that both narrator and his right-hand-man are so bloody whiny. If they stopped looking at their bruised egos/navels I might be able to finish the book. Disappointing. "

" What a weird twist in the middle of this book... "

" This is one of those books that fell into my life at the right time. I adored Will, wanted to throttle Hand (though his role as Will's foil really helped to define the main characters' personalities and perspectives much better than a straight narrative description would have) and wished Eggers would have spent just a little more time talking about their memories of Jack. The Jack flashbacks really gave this book a heart and soul that aren't always easy to inject into a novel. "

" Great book, but the ending is a little strange. Eggers writing is brilliant, as always. "

" Precocious and slightly pretentious. Exhausting and yet entertaining. This is Dave Eggers. "

" terrible novel. very disappointed after reading HW of SG. "

" Not as good as Heartbreaking work but nonetheless a GREAT read "

" He's just the best author of our generation. "

" I enjoyed reading this since it made me think of my two best friends and what it would be like to travel around the world in a mind boggling time. "

" Dave Eggers, who is now one of my favorite authors, has yet to let me down. "

" was reading a lot of Bellow at the time I read this, and loved all the allusions. "

" Again I say: "What the...?" "

" The first book of Eggers' that I ever read, and my favorite. It's riddled with angst and great comedic timing, simultaneously heartbreaking and beautiful. "

" Didn't love it, but it had its moments. Seemed too distracted for my taste. "

" Am usually a fan of Eggers but have to admit I just wasn't able to warm to the 2 main characters in this book. "

" i am of a fan of eggers for a heartbreaking work..., but this could not keep my attention. poor pacing. "

" curious road trip, curious memoir style narrative. "

" His writing style is superb. He has better books than this, but I loved his sense of humour and wit. I'd definitely recommend it to friends. "

" So far I like it, but not as much as his others that I read (Heartbreaking Work, Zeitoun and What is the What). "

" ...I don't think I got it. "

" Interesting book, not necessarily my favorite book by Eggers but certainly has some interesting points of view in regards to the oddity that is they 20 something male mind. "

" I heart Dave Eggers and this book didn't disappoint! "

" Fabulous. True Eggers voice, can't believe it took me so long to read it! "

" I wish I had the balls (and the cash) to take a ridiculous trip like that "
