Juliet, Naked
by Nick Hornby
What do you call it when you don't give a damn about any of the characters? The reason I like reading more than watching is that I want to feel. And that was all missing. The writing can be witty or ingenious or whatever the cover says but it has to reach somewhere. I would say the wittiness overpowered the intimacy between the characters (all of them) as well as between me and the book.
Still, this would have been a great rom-com screenplay. It has all the elements but when you can't put them together you bargain with meaning which I want to find in the books I read. Not that it has none but it shies away from confronting them - what with trying to be all witty and reaching for the top.
