I'm sure there are lots of upper middle class conformist people like Paul and Elaine in suburbia who, for whatever reason, make a life for themselves in this style because they think they should, not because it suits them. On the one hand, it's beautifully written, in A M Homes' characteristically-introspective tone, (and with her trademark flashes of black humour) but on the other, it's probably the most depressing book I've ever read – and so I hated it. In Thoreau's day, people led lives of quiet desperation. Scrobbling is when Last.fm tracks the music you listen to and automatically adds it to your music profile. The characters are awful to themselves and to each other. At least I did.



I didn't enjoy the story; it was basically a series of "poor me" moments that culminated in an event that I thought was awful and unnecessary. A.M. Homes Music for Torching is a dark, twisted book, a satirical disection of a seemingly normal suburban couple and their lives. Or is the style at the same level as DeLillo's? Again, I can tell that Homes really, really likes Don DeLillo, and also makes several trips into Richard Yates country.

Paul and Elaine this time are the unhappy couple and a little bit crazy, certainly depressed, completely selfish, mostly unlikeable and somehow and i've no idea how but Homes makes you care about these two strangely believable characters.

Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of As more time goes by since I've finished it, as I think about it more, I like it better than I did when I had first finished it.





So they set their house on fire, take the kids, and spent the night in a motel room. Obsessed with 'making things good again', they spin the quiet terrors of family life into a fantastical frenzy that careens well and truly out of control. An apt portrait of the thrill seeking, self gratifying set.





If a book could be written in a minor key, this would be the result.

A new version of Last.fm is available, to keep everything running smoothly, please Paul and Elaine this time are the unhappy couple and a little bit crazy, certainly depressed, completely selfish, mostly unlikeable and somehow and i've no idea how but Homes makes you care about these two strangely believable characters. And I'm no prude but the ridiculous abundance of gratuitous sex seemed pulled right out of a reality show like some incarnation of the "Real Housewives" franchise.
