He and his girlfriend—make that ex-girlfriend— Alicia have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble. Sam is suddenly forced to grow up and struggle with the familiar fears and inclinations that haunt us all.Nick Hornby’s poignant and witty novel shows a rare and impressive understanding of human relationships and what it really means to be a man. NH could write a sprawling, epic novel; he has the facilities to do so. Instead, he writes simpler, more relatable stories.

Its about parents... and children... and children parents. The book is narrated by a 15 yr old skateboarder who initially seems oblivious to the world, but proves anything but.The story cant be sold in the plot description; no first-time author could have gotten this book published with a 10 minute meeting. Ill bet NH would agree. His reputation brought this book to print and it could be his best work.FUNNY is the first word I use when describing NH books (Ive read them all). British humor isnt the proper description. He has spent much of his life in the US and understands our comedy as well as any American writer. The laughs are consistent, but he isnt a joke-teller. NH provides an inner-dialogue, where failed attempts at comedy are as funny as the spoken word.Slam delves into a very serious subject: teen pregnancy. A comic turn on that subject may discourage some readers from embarking, but NH keeps it classy. This is a story which SHOULD be read by teens and WILL be enjoyed by grandparents. There is very little romantic love in this yarn; it remains on the periphery. NH has too much respect for sex to trivialize it.Ill end with a bit of classic Hornby. Some context may be lost, but this is a teens perspective on parenting:It was hard, but it was hard in the way that holding your breath for 5 minutes is hard, not in the way that maths exams are hard. In other words, any idiot can at least have a go at it.Simple... brilliant... Hornby Slam in Literature and Fiction pdf books Slam Slam The buttons that don't work REALLY frustrate my 2.
