Book Review By Steve Slack
About a Boy by Nick Hornby

Will is a thirty something with no career and no stable relationships to his name. He's scared of commitment and of children, probably because he hasn't learned to grow up yet. Marcus is a twelve year old boy who is trapped in the body of middle aged man. He sings Joni Mithcell in public without knowing it and does't know which jeans are cool to wear. Thrust into eachother's world, the man teaches the boy about how to be a cool kid, and the kid lets the guy know the value of filial relations.
