Eat the Document by Dana Spiotta

4.0

The story of this book is very poignant. It's like detective story, but better, and more serious and more political. I loved the descriptions of alternative countercultures in the late 1990s and the way that that era was connected with bits and pieces to the 60s and 70s. Some of the youngsters' charactarisations are painfully spot-on. The pieces of the puzzle eventually fit together so nicely, and the characters have come so very far, that I wish the novel would have given a bit more closure, would have gone on for just a little longer.
