Bought on the basis of having loved the film. The film was superior. ( )

This was the first book I read with recommendations from music rather than regular book sources. And I cannot believe that I forgot to add it. Loved it. Even despite the whole dialect thing which I usually really hate. ( )

The Commitments beschrijft hoe de soulband van Jimmy Rabbitte jr en kornuiten na een flitsende start aan de schoonheid van zijn drie achtergrondzangeressen ten onder gaat. ( )

Organised by Jimmy Rabitte, the Commitments are a soul band the likes of which Dublin has never seen before. Hilarious. ( )

Loved the book! I was reading the part where Jimmy (the protagonist) was assigning names to all the band members at a bus stop and couldn't help laughing out loud.
