A review by meagan_louise
A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby

3.0

Finished most of the book on a car ride coming home to San Diego from the Bay Area. I liked that this book was light enough for the road yet not numbingly so (I also finished "Twilight" on the trip to the Bay Area)...I mildly chuckled in some parts and was genuinely interested in the characters and how they were going to end up. The whole tale seems a bit fantastical while all the characters go on and on how their situation is not some magical fairy tale, but I took that as ironic. The only other Hornby book I read prior to this was "How to be Good" and "A Long Way Down" is definitely better then that...although I don't know what that says exactly about Hornby's abilities as a writer.
