Juliet, Naked - Nick Hornby

Hornby often writes about men and their obsessions (Fever Pitch, High Fidelity for two), and in this he's doing it again. Duncan is obsessed with reclusive 80s singer/songwriter Tucker Crowe and it's slowly eroding his relationship with the ever-patient Annie. But this isn't really Duncan's story, it's Annie's and Tucker's. I liked it, I quite like Hornby, it's a quick read and the characters are fairly likeable, even Duncan, and he isn't always the nicest of people. If you like Hornby's previous books, then you'll enjoy this.
