Let me start by saying that I started this book because I wanted something sort of mindless that could be read in a day. I've had this book for awhile, and felt like I should have read it long ago. Truth be told, I probably shouldn't have read it at all & I certainly hope the movie was better.
Hornby's writing style is... nothing special. Easy enough to read, but easy enough to skim as well. The page layout even left something to be desired. There was a lot of empty space, possibly to make the book seem longer.
The story line was also nothing too great. Typical almost-middle-aged dude in a dead end job trying to make sense of love and previous romances. The only reason I finished this novel was because I was already 200 pages in.
2 stars. And that's being generous.
