ictmrs 's review for:
Juliet, Naked
by Nick Hornby
This book was interesting. I didn't know what to think when it started. It seemed like it might drag too much for my taste. I'm also never sure about different voices for different characters because it never works as well as it seems like it should. However, I got caught up in the story pretty quickly. Duncan and Annie have been together for 15 years, not from any great passion, but mostly for convenience and ease. Duncan is obsessed with an American singer/songwriter from the 80s named Tucker Crowe, who hasn't done anything new in years. A previously unreleased album of studio recordings of Tucker's most famous album is released and Duncan thinks it is amazing, while Annie thinks it is a poor representation of an incredible album. She writes a review for a website and Tucker reads it and responds. Thus begins the "relationship" of Tucker and Annie, which is definitely not straight forward or traditional. The story has some very funny parts and some parts that made me shake my head. It was enjoyable and the ending made me very happy.
