I always enjoy Nick hornby's books, but this one is not one of his best. Around two thirds, I felt the book was ready to be finished, but it still kept going on. Still enjoyable, the characters were real enough, it had the feeling of About a Boy, the protagonist kept digging himself in a deeper hole, but you keep chuckling, so still good. I feel this book would make a really good movie, the way his other books were adapted.

I had wanted to read this book for quite a while, and so when I found it at walmart for 97 cents, I said why not. It turns out this book was great! I found myself laughing out loud, getting fed up, and smiling the whole book. I really couldn't put it down.
