Perhaps that says a good amount about me, needing to be told the genre of this book, or any mainstream book, but whatever the analysis I was a bit sorry to have made that discovery, since it prejudiced my reading a little. I ended up starting with Slam simply because I had a copy lying around that a neighbour had tossed away, and I was only half-way through when I learned that Slam is a Young Adult novel.

Indeed, High Fidelity and About a Boy seem the most popular.

Look for other reviews, quite all over the place, of Slam at Goodreads.įans of Nick Hornby will recommend any other book of his as a launching pad to get to know the author. _, Slam, London & New York: Penguin Books, 2008. Hornby, Nick, Slam, London: Putnam Books, 2007.
