A review by juliaeder
About a Boy by Nick Hornby

4.0

This is one of the very few (or maybe even the only) book where I have seen the movie first. A movie that I actually liked a lot. And even though I knew where the story was going (I did not remember every detail as it’s been a while and I know it also differs in plot at least a little) it didn’t ruin the reading experience for me at all. I really enjoyed this book and the story it’s telling. None of the characters are particularly likable but they are all trying their best and I guess that is just as good.
