Title: HiFi rocks
Review: We're a group of twelve ESL students who read "HiFi" as a class assignment. Although the novel is a light read, it deals with serious problems facing many young (and not so young) people: finding their way of life concerning relationships and career decisions. What we liked best about the novel were Rob's interesting though often bizarre observations about life in general, the witty dialogues interspersed with slang and profanities, and the surprising turning points and sub-plots. Still, we found that Laura's and Rob's relationship was depicted quite superficially. Also, due to lack of cultural background, many jokes on pop music and movies were wasted on us. All in all, quite refreshing for a book read at school.
