About a Boy by Nick Hornby
5.0
I really liked this novel, told from two distinctive points-of-view, that of an adult who acts like a child, and the other from a child who acts adult-like.
This book is funny, intelligent and witty, with delightful characters, especially that of Marcus, the 12-year-old boy that cannot seem to fit in at school and ends up striking an unlikely friendship with a man old enough to be his father (except this man doesn't really like kids in the first place).
A refreshing read, written with a mix of humour and seriousness, that makes you think and smile and laugh and even cry. I loved it.
