Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kari Kracht
Great book, I loved it very much. Gave me strength to make it through the day!

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by estupenda142
this book really reflects the life of many people nowadays...it is funny, ironically written and gives u also a lot to think about...u can compare the living and the feelings of the characters with ur own...
i recomment this book to all people who want to laugh about everyday - life and who like sarcasm.
i hope nick hornby will publish a new book soon!

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Kenn
I was also left unsatisfied, but the novel was readable. My problem was with the characters. They were not very interesting to me, especially the children. I also found the situation to be undramatic. What is really at stake here for the characters? Overall, it just left me cold and unattached. However, I was sufficiently interested in the story to finish the novel and enjoy parts of it.


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Mike
A funny, thoughtful take on what it takes to walk the walk. If you've got an over active-conscience, this book will hit home.
