About a Boy by Nick Hornby

brunettegal418, January 3, 2008

This is a cunningly written story by a quietly extrordinary writer, Nick Hornby. This story tells of a bored, rich man searching for a wife, who ends up posing as a single dad. The problem is, now he needs a son. This clever, funny, yet moving story tells of the bonding between a man and a boy who otherwise seem completley opposite. This is a must read not only because of Hornby's captivating writing, but because this charming story will stay with the reader forever.

This is a classic must read by, in my opinion, the greatest children's book writer. Not only does this word twisting story give a tale of hope and love during Christmas, but Seuss creates a simple tale that can never be read too many times. This fun to read book must be read by everyone looking for a deliciously refreshing tale to be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.
