Title: About a
boy
Author: Nick Hornby
Genre: (general) fiction/humor
Rating: 
Another hilarious book from the author of High
fidelity.
This one is about two boys: one boy age 12, Marcus and one boy age 36, Will.
Both have to grow up and they need each others help to do so.
Marcus without the gift to understand the humor Will uses on him, throws himself
at
Will after
the Dead Duck Day; the day he kills a duck with a piece of bread and the day his
mother tries to kill herself. Will hasn't a clue what to do with Marcus when he
appears at Will's doorstep uninvited every day after school, sometimes followed
by bullies. Will can't get rid
of him, so maybe give up and go along with him might do the trick to lose Marcus
in
the end. However things work out differently. In the time spent together Will
teaches Marcus to be "cool" and Marcus teaches Will to care.
