Title: Real Romance
Review: High Fidelity is a glimpse into the way REAL relationships work. Throughout, the narrator, Rob, contradicticts the reality of love with the fantasy that he always thought love was. There are the mundane details of the break-up and the move out, plus the "lets still be friends" attempts that never work. Occasionally Rob seems like a bit of a dolt, and this observation makes one not always totally sympathetic towards him. His life seems to be drifting along and he doesn't seem to care either way. But this is the character and at least he is honest. I wouldn't call High Fidelity a "page turner". But it certainly is an easy read and a good one at that.
