jesus_wept's review against another edition
4.0
The main character is such a selfish, pretentious asshole and I hate how many of his exact thoughts I've had. Shameful simil rities aside, much of the time he's really just a normal (unfortunately) gross, misogynistic, fatphobic jerk. Honestly unclear on if this is Hornby's intention or just his reality. :\

Too much casual rape culture and misogyny. I get that it was the 90s but life is too short. Bye.

codecat's review against another edition
Boring, misogynistic, endless rants. It’s really slow with not a lot happening, and not even in a fun way. I usually love unlikeable characters, but this one was annoying and uninteresting.
