Hitting The Groove
Phil Hogan
This is the first novel from the Observer columnist. Andrew's
early impressions were that this was yet another "lad-lit",
semi-autobiographical, Nick Hornby inspired work of which there
are plenty around. However, Andrew persevered and decided the
book transcended the genre which it had seemed at first to
represent. Andrew thought some parts of the story were a bit
lazy, such as making the main character a Beatles fan, and that
it displayed a slightly unattractive moral tone - but overall it
was an enjoyable read.
