Reading about complete and total power has me a little hot and bothered. WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

I knew what I was getting into what with the more or less constant and consistent praise-cum-warnings around here, but at the same time I hadn't read it so I didn't really know. It was the most crushingly depressing and oppressively bleak piece of writing I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I finished Nick Hornby's latest, Slam, today. It was good. Not without its flaws, but thoroughly engrossing and as usual, surprisingly heavy despite how accessible his writing is. I think I liked it more than How To Be Good or A Long Way Down, but it's still nowhere near High Fidelity or About A Boy.
