14 - Charlotte Street, by Danny Wallace
WHY I PICKED IT: Picked it up at an airport book store
ELAPSED TIME: 1 Day
RATING: Not Good
Jason just almost met a cute girl on Charlotte Street. After helping her with her bags into a taxi, he realizes that he has a (old school) disposable camera, belonging to her... and decides to track her down.
In the image of early Nick Hornby, Wallace creates a Jason who is not doing well in his career and is really insecure... but unlike Hornby, I don't really care about the character.
Ended up skimming most of the book and reading the end. Yep, he finds inner strength and gets the girl. Bleh.
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!
