A review by melistocrat
Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby

3.0

This is probably my least favorite Nick Hornby book. I really wanted to enjoy this, and then I realized why it is only a three-star kind of book. His characters are just not like-able. I found myself enjoying Hornby's musings on life, relationships, and most of all music, but his characters annoyed me. For his first attempt at writing from a woman's perspective he ended up creating a woman that seemed desperate rather than brave for making the decisions that she made. Nonetheless, there were some enjoyable moments in this book. I would recommend it for Hornby fans but for readers who haven't been introduced to his books, I'd steer them towards his earlier works first.
