Fiction: Slam, by Nick Hornby

A younger version of the main characters from “About a Boy” and “High Fidelity” (two very beloved books ’round here. Although you may remember, I do NOT love some of his others; and I only love the movie of ONE of those).

Easy, honest, open…with a wee little bit of fantasy future thrown in. Liked it, but didn’t always love it, sometimes frustrated by it. As with all teenage boys, right?
