A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan is a book about an aging punk rocker, now music producer, and all the troubled people in his life, past and present. It is more a set of short stories than a novel, and I found it hard to follow all the characters that were introduced or even care about them.

Egan, author of Look at Me has a unique and compelling writing style and for a while it pulls me in, but by the end I am left tired and depressed. I was happy to see this book finally end.
