I read The Circle last year and really liked it (I heard the movie was not great), and read What is What, which I thought was okay. I’ve not read his others. As someone who cares very little for coffee, I did learn a lot about first/second/third wave coffee making and I LOVED the discussions of Yemen.
Thanks! I’m definitely going to add it to my list. I have enjoyed some of his others: Zeitoun and The Circle. And since I am a coffee-addict, so it sounds like a winning combination for me. 😉
Another great review! I am curious, have you read other Dave Eggers books and if so, how does it compare to some of his others?
