By Nick Hornby
Riverhead Books,
305 pages


The funny thing about Nick Hornby books is that they end up being better movies than novels. The British author of High Fidelity and About A Boy must have some pretty good connections, because Stephen Frears’ version of his novel about a record collector’s romantic mishaps actually improved on the book’s comic timing; and Hugh Grant pulled one of his best roles out of a lumpy, wobbly book about an aging hipster who befriends a young lad.
