From the blurb:

"Marcus is twelve. Will is thirty-six. Why can't they both act their age? In his second novel Nick Hornby explores the connections people make when the so-called ideal family model does not apply...he keeps his eye on the subject while revealing much more - always cutting through received rubbish with a singular sense of purpose. And in the process he connects with a huge number of people who find his view of the world funny, wise and disarmingly entertaining."

As good as 'High Fidelity'. I haven't seen the film, but think I might go and hunt for it. I really enjoyed the plot, although it didn't turn out how I expected it to, and I laughed out loud in places.

Offered up on a Relay.

Accepted on a Relay and going off to The Netherlands sometime later this week.

Thank you very much! I'm really looking forward to read this book!
