A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

A good fun read. This book doesn't have a plot as such. There is a lot of chopping and changing over time periods and between different characters, all of whom have a connection - tenuous or otherwise. For this reason, the book is very slightly disjointed but the writing style is very good which makes the novel flow a lot smoother than it might otherwise have done. Overall, I do think the patchwork style prevents the book from having a particularly strong impact on the reader because there's no real 'message' but this is still an enjoyable read.
