Title: Great Idea, No pay back
Review: My wife gave me this book for my Birthday. The idea was wonderful and I was intrigued. I had never read Nick Hornby, but I am a fan of High Fidelity. That night I went to bed the book and my kid's CD player. I started off well until I got to the 2nd essay "Thunder Road". Nothing on the CD. Now I suppose that I could find this song fairly easily, but since there are 31 essays and only 12 tracks on the CD I quickly got totally uninterested in the book. Why would anyone want to read about a tune that he didn't know or could listen to at the same time. I figure copyright must be the hangup, but I honestly can't imagine "The Boss" refusing to let a recognized author use an old song to gain a glowing review that might be read by thousands of readers. The book will remain unread & unlistened toat my house.
Is the review positive or negative?
