About a Boy
by Nick Hornby
You've probably seen the Nicholas Hoult/Hugh Grant movie. If you have, let me just say that the movie was expertly cast. The characters in the movie ring true to the ones on the page.
But the book is better than the movie. The double narration in the film maintains the books best feature: the main characters, Will and Marcus, take turns telling the story. And because the novel isn't dependant on a Hollywood ending, the story is more complex, and I feel more honest, sweet, and fulfilling.
I realize I'm gushing, but I thought the book was very very good.
