Journal Entry 2 by nice-cup-of-tea from Zürich, Zürich Switzerland on Sunday, May 1, 2005
I had read this before (and seen the film), but it was certainly worth re-reading. Nick Hornby has a talent for uncovering the male mind, whether it's the adult (but childish) Will, or the child (but mature) Marcus. He brilliantly explores the pains and tribulations of being a child, particularly the bullying and unhappiness of secondary school. He also writes sympathetically of Will, a loner who has no need to work, and who loses his way until he gets caught up in Marcus' life. Brilliant!

Released 18 yrs ago (5/6/2005 UTC) at Messegelände - BuchBasel in Basel, Basel-Stadt Switzerland
