tipostrambo 's review for:

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
3.0
funny reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It seems I’ve aged much better than this book. 

What once seemed so angsty-cool and relatable in my 20s now comes off as mostly pathetic and relentlessly self-absorbed. I found myself wanting to smack every last one of the male characters and then give a therapist referral to the women who keep putting up with their sh*t. 

I do like the very end. Kudos to Hornby for that. But too little too late.
