The Keep by Jennifer Egan

"E" Author

I'm torn on this book.  I really didn't care for it the entire time I was reading it, there's some confusion about the narration which is essential to the mystery of the novel, but beyond that there is some supernatural/sci-fi elements which I didn't like.  She wrapped it up nicely at the end so all the pieces fit, but I probably won't be passing this along or recommending it.  It's an "eh" kinda book.

Quote:  "People are bored......What's missing?  What do they need? What's the next step? And then I got it: imagination.  We've lost the ability to make things up.  We've farmed out that job to the entertainment industry, and we sit around and drool on ourselves while they do it for us."
