Title: hornby has his ears to the ground and his pen to his heart
Review: o Nick Hornby, heart-breakingly funny author of High Fidelity and About a boy, returns with a work of non-fiction. Fans who read High Fidelity will know that music plays a key role in the lives of his characters. In this work on pop culture, Hornby writes about 31 songs that have personally touched and moved him. Some of them are instantly recognisable pop gems, others obscure to even hardened lovers of indy music. But Hornby's strength is in his writing. He makes each song come alive, as he narrates not only a brief history of the song and the band but also why he likes it and most stunningly what the song sounds like. With this book, Hornby gives the phrase "his words were music to my ears" a whole new literal meaning.
