"Call it 'Lad Lit' and you are truly missing the point. Nick Hornby has captured the born-in-the-1970s male psyche better than anyone else I've read. There is no gender bias here - true to both sexes."
"So poignant for most people that it is almost too true to read and enjoy. We are fickle by nature and this book illustrates that point with wit and clarity..."
"'Head like a hole, black as your soul. I'd rather die than give you control', angst ridden music for an angst ridden consumer generation. Trent is gen-X's finest musician..."
"The innocence of a childhood story illustrates one of the oldest organised faiths. I have read this book on countless occasions and it never fails to inspire."
"From the pages of a pulp fiction novel: songs about serial killers, adultery, murder, mayhem, heartache and generally troubled themes. Another poetic offering from this American poet..."
"After the spectacle that was 'Ovo' this is a welcome return to form. 'I Grieve' is as soulful as any track on 'Us' which is high praise. Worth a listen..."
"Coining the 'generation x' phrase was a mixed blessing for Doug Coupland - forever burdened and compared to a piece of work that is difficult to better. Read the original..."
"Another Nick Hornby book - he must be good (no pun intended). Again contradicting the 'Lad Lit' tag, he tackles the 'worth' of modern lives with sense and sensitivity..."
