About a Boy

Bought at the YWCA book sale to read and release in the wild.
What a lovely little time capsule of the early 1990s. My nostalgia for my youth saw me through the slow patches, but overall I thought this story about a boy (or two) was very well done. I saw the movie ages ago when it first came out (2002, according to imdb.com—where did those 11 years go?) and remember liking it, mostly because I liked Hugh Grant, so I couldn't help but picture him as Will and Toni Colette as Fiona while reading. In a way, this almost seemed like a novelization of the movie, rather than the other way around, since the book predates the movie by a few years.
The books are taking over my house so in order to retain my sanity, I'm sending this in a box to iwillrejoice in Florida to read and/or release. Thank you and enjoy!
