" Loved. This. Book. Devoured it in two days! It was one of those books where you have to go back and read the last few pages again and again because you don't want it to end. "

" I really enjoyed the first two-thirds of this book, but the last third was disappointing. A fun read, not very beleavable, but quirky and engaging. "

" People keep saying this is a return to some of Hornby's best themes: music obsession, the quest for love, loneliness. I must admit, I agree. I was happy to see this return, in this book. I really enjoyed the story, the addition of social media/blogosphere subculture, and the fanciful direction the story took. "

" A good read, I thought the character of Duncan was interesting and funny. I was a bit disappointed when the plot moved away from him into a more traditional rom-com with slightly less interesting characters, but overall still worth reading. "

" OK, so this one was pure guilty pleasure. A story about a willfully childless couple in their late thirties whose lives revolve around music? Familiar stomping grounds and a fun story that was not unpredictable, but was satisfying all the same. "

" A typical Nick Hornby novel, if perhaps a little less interesting. The ending was fairly unsatisfying, I felt like the characters didn't quite mature despite the events that occurred, though perhaps that was what Hornby was going for. Certainly no High Fidelity but not bad really. "

" As always witty and corky. He's a great author with a talent for dry humor. The story dragged slightly but left you with quite a bit to think about. Can you reinvent your life? Does art always have meaning? Was Duncan selfish or truly just clueless when it came to personal relationships? "

" Like most Hornsby books, this one requires getting past the depression of middle-aged hopelessness. Still, I enjoy his style and the way he conveys love of music through his characters. Overall, a pretty good read. "

" I LOVED this book! I knocked off one star because as much as I do understand the ending, I wasn't particularly satisfied by it. Other then that it was perfect! I was laughing out loud more then once and was pleasantly surprised with each turn the story took. "

" This book was ok, not the typical book that I read. At times the writing was convoluted and I had to read sentences over again to be sure of what I read. Not a fast paced book. Enough of a story that I wanted to finish it and see how it ended, but the characters were a bit frustrating. "

" It started winking, and then it went kind of slow, but at some point I could not give up reading, I enjoyed it a lot. He always writes about things that I don't feel related at the beginning, but by the end of the book always realized there were a lot. "

" Typical Nick Hornby book; fun quirky characters, plenty of brooding, great music references and an ending you're not really sure if you're happy with or not. I enjoyed it and thought it was a fun read. "

" Great book about reevaluating things during mid-life. It's an off-beat love story that has you really pulling for the characters to basically get their lives on track and be happy. "

" It was pretty good. Not great, not bad. The characters are unappealing in the most appealing way... a very Hornby quality. They seem very real for all their flaws, and that's what keeps you turning the pages. Interesting story and quick read.
