Many great pieces in this volume, particularly Philip Connors's "Diary of a Fire Lookout", Jonathan Franzen's comments on the life of David Foster Wallace, Rivka Galchen's "Wild Berry Blue", and David Grann's "Chameleon" (which had a really creepy undertone).

As usual, very uneven--parts were terrific, parts I kept wondering "Now why did they put THAT in here?"

Not much more to say that hasn't been said in my reviews of the 2007 and 2008 editions of the same series. Eggers and his merry band of high school students have put together another compulsively readable collection of essays, fiction, and everything else in between. A perfect vacation read for those of us who want a bit more than the usual "guilty pleasure" summer literature.
