Review of 'A Visit from the Goon Squad' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
A Visit from the Goon Squad is really unique and well written, but it left me without any form of closure. This is a collection of short stories rather than a novel; telling individual memories from people (and family) involved in a record label that is struggling to remain in touch with the digital age. The people in the book include musicians, producers, assistants, executives and publicists; but all their memories doesn’t really quiet make a complete story, there is too many holes and information missing. It does feel a collection of short stories from the good old days that have been pieced together to try and understand what it was like. While I enjoyed the stories and the way the book was writing (including a whole perspective done in PowerPoint) I wanted more and expected more from this Pulitzer Prize winning novel.
