" High Fidelity remains one of my favorite books of all time, and I generally love Nick Hornby's stories (even though his novel before this one, A Long Way Down, was a bit of a disappointment). I resisted this one for a long time because it came out under the banner of "Nick Hornby does Young Adult Lit" and, well, I wasn't interested in that. Turns out this is more or less what you would expect from a Hornby novel, only the narrator/main character is a 16 year old skateboarder instead of a 35 year old record shop owner or mid-life-crisis-suffering heir to a fortune. This was a quick, enjoyable read but not quite up to the same high standards I have based on How to Be Good, About a Boy, and High Fidelity. "
