If you still haven't read it, you really should! Especially if you like making lists!!!

I went up to college yesterday, and in the pigeon hole there were four books waiting for me! Feel popular! Hope to read soon, as I enjoyed the film.

From the blurb:

"Do you know your desert-island,all time, top-five most memorable split-ups?

"Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact. But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest ex. He's got his life back, you see. He can do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the girls that are on his list, and generally behave as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon, he's asking himself some big questions: about love, about life - and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do."

I enjoyed the film when I saw it a couple of years ago and it seems to have done the book justice. I like making lists myself, and could understand why Rob kept wanting to do so. This book has certainly taught me a lot about records! I loved the progress of his relationship with his (ex)girlfriend and there are some really good, painfully accurate sentences on situations such as love and sex. Looking forward to reading other books by this author.

Will either offer it up on a Relay or send it to someone who has it on their Wishlist.

Will post off tomorrow. Hope it travels well and arrives safely!

Thought this was a great read, I didn't really know most of the records quoted in the book - I guess they must have been (slightly!) before my time!

Glad Rob kind of got his life sorted at the end!
This will now travel to Camis, as she won it in a bookswap (Best of British) on bcuk extra.

- also Camis, forgot to put on the JE for Chart Throb - many thanks for the G&B chocolate you sent me, unfortunately my little boy spotted it first LOL

Thank you - this arrived safely today. Heading to Mount TBR for now....

Hmm, just finished this and not really sure if I enjoyed it or not! It was well written but something just didn't feel right for me. I had read 31 Songs by Nick Hornby a couple of weeks ago and thought this would go well with it, but I found Rob just way too annoying for me! I just wanted to shake him and tell him to grow up. I can't say it has inspired me to watch the film.

Will find a new home for this in due course.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sending to XNirvanaFreakX as a RABCK from my giveaway on BookObsessed.

Thanks! I was surprised when I received this today because I wasn't sure where it was from. I wonder if it really did take two months to get here though... Seems kind of slow to me. Ah well, I have it now. Excited to read it. Thanks!
