It turned out to be quite good, though. The characters seem to be detached from each other at first, but they started to fill the cup they were in until everything spilled out and mixed. I think one of the other reviews said that 'plus, it's British'. Considering I had finished two Nick Hornbys in a row just before I read this book, I totally second that.

I don't often say this, but I think this book will make a good movie. IMHO Lasse Hallström, as he did a terrific job with What's Eating Gilbert Grape, will do just fine. ]]>
