Review Roundup
Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down is praised for its dark humor, engaging dialogue, and unique narrative style, weaving together the stories of four strangers contemplating suicide. However, some find the characters underdeveloped and the plot gimmicky. Overall, it's a thoughtful yet uneven exploration of desperation and human connection.
Who Should Read A Long Way Down?
Fans of dark comedy, emotional depth, and ensemble narratives will enjoy A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. Similar to readers of Hornby's High Fidelity or Jonathan Tropper’s This is Where I Leave You, they appreciate humor laced with poignancy and characters grappling with life's complexities.
