08 - Plan B, by Jonathan Tropper, St. Martin's Griffin, 358 pages, 2000
WHY I PICKED IT: Re-reading a book from a few years ago
ELAPSED TIME: 1 day
RATING: Good
Jonathan Tropper writes like the American version of Nick Hornby (of High Fidelity and About A Boy fame)... a decent guy with a lot of angst figuring out how to be in this world.
In this tale, Ben is a 30-year-old, recent divorce who is getting together this his university friends (including a girl who he crushed on all through school, and who he dated for two years after), in order to intervene on a mutual friend of theirs' drug habit. The friend happens to be a big Hollywood star, so it's not an easy task!
This book is an entertaining way to spend a few hours.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
