This book has some of that old Hornby vibe (High Fidelity, About a Boy) but still suffers from the lack of inspiration and attempt to be moralizing.It had the potential to be great - nice plot, promising characters, Hornby's take on music - yet failed to reach it, unfortunately. Still, there are som...

I didn’t know, not right from the start anyway, that Juliet, Naked would be about impossible / “can't live with or without” relationships in the context of a perpetual teenage mentality, where your favourite songwriter’s preferred.. I don’t know.. ice cream flavour matters, even though you're over 3...

While the style is similar in an enjoyable way, giving anyone familiar with Hornby exactly what they expect, the plot i...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's hard to explain, I could see why someone would find this novel confusing. I liked how he wrote characters, every single one felt like a REAL person- not likeable, yet also not unlikeable. I felt like a voyeur. I think a book should make you feel like one.
"Juliet Naked" is told from three related first person accounts. This makes it particularly well suited to being an audio book, with different actors reading the first person accounts. It's an unabridged book, so you get the original prose but with the benefit of some skillful voices that add to the...
Duncan is a big old-music nerd and a self-styled expert on the music career of Tucker Crowe, a singer-songwriter (think Dylan) who released one really critically acclaimed album in the 80s, and then suddenly during a tour disappeared and went into hiding. Duncan frequents internet message boards whe...
Despite its 406 pages, this was a quick and fun read. The dialogue is very witty. My family must have thought I was losing my mind because I kept laughing out loud. And despite the seeming light tone of the book, there is something deeper too, if you care to dig. It’s a coming of age story, not ...
