I have been reading Mr. Hornby's books since a friend recommended "High Fidelity" when it first came out (the book, not the movie) - I underlined almost every line in the book. I love his style, humor, pop culture references, and love for/taste in music (he coined the phrase "Westerbergian"). I love how he confesses to loving Nelly Furtado in "Songbook" and says "you are either for music or against it". When I started this one I was afraid it was a rehash of "High Fidelity" for the digital decade (which I heard him mention in a review). But it found its own heart about 1/4 through, and I really enjoyed it. Maybe he will read this review like Tucker! Hope he likes it. Keep 'em coming!
