This. Book. Sucked. Okay, first the plus side: Slim is awesome. And that's about it for the plus side. On the minus side: We have to see the awesome character Slim through the eyes of this annoying teenage boy who spends nearly ever scene she's in describing her butt. Also on the minus side: Pretty much all the other characters were downright annoying. I was very disappointed they didn't ALL (except Slim) die horrible deaths at the end. Once again on the minus side: This book was painfully BORING and full of descriptive descriptions describing descriptive things that don't need to be described. Picture Twilight, but about 5 times worse. (Yeah. Preeee-ty bad.) For example: in one of the flashbacks, they go into all this detail about how they ate milk duds at the movies. This, by the way, had nothing to do with anything. Ooh, or how about when they made burgers? Did I need to know that the characters both love cheese on their burgers, and also that they like their burgers thin so that the inside isn't raw? No. No I did not. And it didn't build suspense, like I know it was supposed to. No it did not. It just made me want to throw the book at a rabid squirrel and watch it chew the thing to pieces, but I couldn't, because it was a library book. And that made me very sad, and pretty much ruined the rest of my day. It's sad that a cool character like Slim can be in a book, and it can still be pretty much the worst book I have ever read in my life.

At first this was an entertaining novel about a doctor having a crisis concerning her marriage. Then it started to get a little off with the character changes and I had a hard time with it. I will read more by Nick Hornby but boy was i glad when i finished this book.

This was a GREAT book with easily relatable and likeable cast of characters. They were also not your standard "good guys" which is a huge plus. It kind of reminds me of Villians by Necessity by Eve Forward. Almost nonstop action in this book and I could not put it down. This goes in my top 10 books for sure.
