I have finally finished Slam which is an achievement in itself, seeing how bogged down I have been with the Racial Harmony Celebrations (shamless plug: come to the carnival on Saturday!). I think I have mixed feelings about the book. It’s typical Nick Hornby – made me look like a demented person laughing to myself while huddling under a bus shelter in Orchard Road – yet I did not come away totally satisfied with the book. Maybe it was the time-travelling. I am not sure.
Would I recommend the book? Yeah because it is well-written and explores an important teenage issue and incredibly funny in parts. Overall I enjoyed it and if you like a book that tackles serious teen issues in an entertaining way, this is for you.
Now the question is, what should I read next?
