This is outside of my usual genre. A group of friends is doing an online book club, and this was this month's book. Nick Hornby also wrote High Fidelity, the book that the John Cusack movie was based on. Annie lives with Duncan, who is completely obsessed with a singer, Tucker Crowe, who hung up his microphone years ago and disappeared from the limelight. When a new album of Tucker's is released, a raw version of his biggest album titled Juliet, Naked, Duncan loves it, but Annie doesn't. They both write reviews and post it on a fan site... and then Annie receives an email from the retired singer. It was an okay read with semi-interesting characters, but the ending left me unsatisfied.
"You need me. You wouldn't be much of a hero without a villain. And you do love being the hero, don't you. The cheering children, the swooning women, you love it so much, it's made you my most reliable accomplice." -- Lex Luthor to Superman, Question Authority, Justice League Unlimited
