A quick read! This was my second Hornby book. Does he ever present a satisfying ending?

Nick Hornby's great and this is his best book. If you're a woman who liked High Fidelity, you'll like this one even more because it's got the same type of male characters but it's much more from the female perspective. But really this book…

Engaging and highly readable farce that takes on fandom and obsession with celebrities. Hornby is always fun to read.

Really funny. Hornby is really good at engineering amusing twists of relaitonships and situations.

Another enjoyable novel by Nick Hornby. In my opinion, better than "High Fidelity" but not quite as good as "About A Boy". Annie has been living with her boyfriend, Duncan, for about 15 years in a small English seaside village. Duncan…

Whenever I read a Nick Hornby novel I find myself casting the movie before I've gone 100 pages. The characters and settings are always so vivid, so tangible, so fully realized, it's as though you're eavesdropping on a conversation.…

This Hornby novel didn't include as much humor as his others, which was a bummer. In fact, the whole story was kind of a bummer. It was interesting, and I kept reading it, and he is a very good writer, but the mood of the book was just…

Juliet, Naked contains some signature Hornby themes that I enjoy (obsessions with trivial details about obscure music, clueless blokes who don't quite get how bloody complicated women are, father/son relationships). However, it lacks the…

If you liked High Fidelity, you really should like this. One of the primary characters in this is obsessed with music too, but instead of running a record store, this guy is obsessed with an musician who has gone underground. He spends…

Fans of Hornby's earlier novel's will be happy with Juliet, Naked. I felt the characters in this book were better written then his last 2-3 books, and the characters are what makes his books so good.

A smartly written and funny book about celebrity obsession and relationships.

The book's opening line ?They had flown from England to Minneapolis to look at a toilet' made me excited that Nick Hornby had placed some event in his new book in our fair city! The book's key character, 1980s rock musician Tucker Crowe…

After hearing about Mr. Hornby's work for several years (not to mention viewing the 2 films based on his works, "About a boy" and "HIgh Fidelity"), I finally picked up one of his novels. I wasn't disappointed - and can easily see John…
