Title: I gained nothing from this book
Review: I expected more. I went to the library to get some books on CD to pass the time in my commute, saw Hornby's name, assumed the best as his other work has been good, and now I'm just forcing myself to finish the cd's.It's a tedious, predictable story. There is meaningless banter back and forth between the characters with the occassional "deep" comment thrown into the mix. It feels like a recipe for a typical fiction book, "...first you do this, then you do this...oh and it's missing something... let me add a few more depressing comments." It reminds me of sitting on the train listening to a pack of 12 year olds pass the time. I don't even know why I'm still listening. It really feels as if he was just trying to fill the space between the back of the book and the front. Then again, nothing ever really happens in Hornby's stories, but at least you can identify with the characters. This story missed that niche completely, it's no special in the least.
