Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy) is a great writer, and I enjoyed this book. Hornby lets us get deep into the character's head, similar to the way Stephen King does, and I like that. We really get to know the three main characters: Duncan and Annie, who are in a stale relationship, and Tucker Crowe, a retired rocker.
My only complaint is that Hornby could have done more with the situations. He set up some good conflicts, but they didn't pay off like I thought they would. (I suppose I have the same complaint about High Fidelity, a movie I wanted to like but couldn't.)
