Title: A long way from a "downer"
Review: Okay, so that was a cheesy title. But the book was not chessy! I was intrigued by the premise - four very different people meet on the roof of a London highrise on New Years Eve. They are all there for the same reason: to commit suicide. All four characters have different reasons for wanting to off themselves. Some situations are certainly more dire than others, but none are treated as insignificant. In spite of the humor and wit, Hornby does actually manage to illustrate the point that when pain is your own, it seems insurmountable...and then as the book goes along, it drives home that nothing is worth jumping to your messy death. I laughed out loud a few times, even when I wanted to smack a couple of the characters. And Maureen, bless her heart! That's all I've got to say about her.A perfect book? Of course not. So few are. But a very good one, especially if you enjoy Honrby's sense of humor.
