I thought the novel was interesting, but I wasn't as blown away as many other reviewers. It is a beautiful depiction and exploration of ageing, male friendship and terminal illness. Jimmy and Tully's connection was great, but most of the supporting characters were underdeveloped in the first half. Therefore I didn't much care where their stories had gone once the time had jumped.

listening so I was never fully focused, which might have affected my experience of the pacing, etc. I want a Spotify playlist and a restaurant menu based on the music references and the dinner at the end. Make that two playlists - one for all the music they trash talk too.
