Review title: A disappointment
Product review: I love High Fidelity and have read it 3 times; Fever Pitch, even though it's about soccer, is one of the best sports books written, in terms of trying to explain a personal and ultimately trivial mania to the world. I think Hornby began to lose it a little with About a Boy; I found that book to be without any edge and just a little bit too precious. But with How to Be Good, Hornby loses much credulity. Without giving away any of the plot I'll just say that the plot is not believable. Hornby does a great job with his female narrator and when he/she is explaining the rotten state of her marriage, nothing rings false. But when the "motor" of the book begins, the bottom falls out; after this, the book is a tough read -- why go on reading what will happen when none of what is happening seems remotely true? It's a shame; this could have been a much, much better book had not Hornby stretched us to the limits of reason. However, he is discerning, clever and unpretentious enough to rebound.
