High Fidelity
29/04/03
By Nick Hornby
High Fidelity is my first Nick Horny book, and even though lots of people have raved about his books, I must confess that I was disappointed in this one..
Generally, I found the book sooooo slow and long (quite impressive as it is only 245 pages ;o)) and I never really got to sympathise with Rob and his women trouble – most likely because I found him a bit of a fool…
Review from amazon.co.uk:
Nick Hornby’s first novel, an international bestseller and instantly recognized by critics and readers alike as a classic, helps to explain men to women, and men to men. Rob is good on music: he owns a small record shop and has strong views on what’s decent and what isn’t. But he’s much less good on relationships. In fact, he’s not at all sure that he wants to commit himself to anyone. So it’s hardly surprising that his girlfriend decides that enough is enough.
