Review of 'Slam' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I haven't read Hornby's complete catalog yet (I own most of it); but I have read a significant number of the novels. Slam is aimed at an audience much younger than I. While that isn't always a determinant of my satisfaction; it may be in this case. Anyway, I wouldn't want to steer anyone away from Hornby; I just may steer you toward several of his other works first. 😉
