What's amazing about this book is that it tells the story of guy who is a total jerk - he sleeps around and cheats with his girlfriend, but instead of hating him, you don't. It's a novel about Rob, a thirty-something record shop owner, written in his point of view, and telling us about his travails on relationships, dating, women and music. As Rob narrates his musings about life, love and music, you get to understand how he is and why he does the stupid things he does. The explains it with such honesty and wit, that makes it an engaging and fun read. It’s one of the few books that made me laugh out loud in some parts and Rob’s top lists are quite interesting as he goes over his top 5 favorite songs to his top 5 breakups. It’s a must read for any woman who wants to understand the a typical guy’s psyche and for guys – its something that you can definitely relate to.Read full review

This book is probably the best book written about this subject. It perfectly captures every aspect of the modern relationship in a way that makes you hopeful and incredibly sad at the same time. This book also spawned the best John Cusack movie ever.
I used this book for a paper in my Literature and film class. I think the movie and book are great!!! I really think the film portrayed very well each character but I really suggest you read it before watching the film. :D
I loved this book. Nick Hornby's writing is poignant and very often laugh-out-loud hilarious. A must-read.
