It’s a corker, a fun read that while demonstrating there is probably nothing to connect these two masters aside from Hornby’s love, there is that nothingness, er. A lot…oh just read and enjoy

I saw Nick Hornby and thought I have to read this. I get it and figure it's a fictional story. What a pleasure to learn it is an informed and emotionally engaging look at two artists and two cultures they worked within. Such an enjoyable read.

I found this book in a free little library and was happily surprised by it despite really having no interest in Dickens. The beginning is a bit slow but my interest picked up about a third in and it’s a short enough read to make the sacrifice.

I never ever thought I’d say this but the book made me curious to read Dickens.

Amusing enough analysis of the common threads between Charles Dickens and Prince. I’m more familiar with Dickens since I’ve been trying to read one of his books each year and am familiar with the highlights of his life. I thought I knew Prince but apparently just the 80’s version. No idea he issued as many albums as he did or that he was so prolific with his song writing.
