Nick Hornby is an artist, even though every time I type his name I somehow leave off the B (time for some attention to my personal life, I guess)...
I ordered Slam by mistake on my Recorded Books subscription, thinking it would be an adult novel, and actually, it is, though it's marketed for teens. Brilliant writing, I went back for more and recently finished A Long Way Down. Amazing. Especially if you ever thought offing yourself was a reasonable course of action. The best part of the book (if I could dare rank) is how reasonably most of the characters process their predicaments.
Read it.
