About a Boy Nick Hornby PB list price $12.95 Riverhead Books (May 1999) ISBN: 1573227331 307 pages average review: Reviews: This gets: a from eryka: Entertaining, but not as good as High Fidelity. A completely self-involved man tries to gain our sympathy. Unsuccessfully. From the back cover: If the fact that they were single mothers meant that gorgeous women (who would not ordinarily look twice at Will) were willing to date him, then Will had it made. Inventing a son got him into a single parents support group, but rather than a fabulous new sex life, he found someone else' s very real so -- a twelve-year-old with a lot to teach Will about being a grown up. eryka.com scale: So good you just can't stand it. Almost that good. Sort of good. Generally a waste of time. Destined for the recycler.
