Book of the Week:A Long Way Down By: Nick Hornby

To the point:
Four people meet by accident on the roof of a building known as Toppers' House. All have one goal, to plummet to their death. Think of this book as a grown-up version of The Breakfast Club, minus that grouchy dope Principal. Through the course of the night the characters narrate the story detailing their personal traumas in turn. There are moments of irritation as they get on each others' nerves, this add excitement and drama. They part the following morning, aware of having formed a peculiar sort of gang, but unlikely to see each other passing in the halls.

Now only if there was some kickin' 80s music to go along with this book....
