A Long Way Down

I mean in fairness I grabbed this off the PC library shelf specifically for when I needed a little light reading–I ended up reading this entirely in one feverish, bedridden day, and it kept me moderately entertained and did not overtax my addled brain. I think Nick Hornby is pretty overrated personally, and it made me outraged that the back cover referred to this as “The Breakfast Club written by Beckett.” What? No. Maybe the Breakfast Club written by Nick Hornby. Anyway, whatever, it was okay.
