Negative Positive
Title: if only all reviewers wrote like this
Review: I was momentarily wary of buying this because the articles all originate from a rather pretentious literary magazine, and I thought everything would fly over my head. Fortunately, as always, Nick Hornby manages to make his intelligent writing seem casual, simple even, and not once will you feel confused or horrifyingly under-read, which is quite a feat. The beauty behind the book is that Hornby makes fun of his white robe-wearing employers and his expected audience constantly, even in the title of the collection. As for the reviews themselves, they are more like well-written and hilarious of his literary trials and tribulations than mundane pros and cons found in so many other reviewers' styles. This book is perfect in its genre, and Hornby reads such a variety of books that if you've ever got book ADD, you can always open up to a random page for ideas.
