Query: Not funny or interesting

"High Fidelity" was very funny and at times thought provoking. This novel was a big disappointment. I am not a sports fan in any way (although I was at the age of 10). Perhaps you need to be a sports fan (and Anglophile?) to appreciate this. I found the book excruciatingly trivial. Don't look to "Fever Pitch" for insight into "fandom" either. The theme of arrested male development is dealt with much more effectively in "High Fidelity".
