Title: A good book on a sad subject
Review: A Long Way Down is a book about four people contemplating suicide. The first half is the strongest part, perhaps because it is the funniest part, but Hornby keeps the characters and the story going throughout. The focus is on the four characters, and the reactions and interactions of those close to the four makes the bond that develops between JJ, Jess, Martin, and Maureen believable. But there isn't anything easy about the book -- no easy answers, nobody is all good or all bad, people muddle through. It's almost a throwback to 60s books like Slaughterhouse Five or The Floating Opera, which incorporate similar themes and conclusions in humorous/tragic ways. Worth reading.
