I really enjoyed this book and it was an easy read. I found some of the conversations about suicide to be helpful and quite inspirational. ( ![]() I hadn't read this before, I had seen the film in the cinema and enjoyed it, (another one where I had bought and enjoy playing the soundtrack). The film is surprisingly close to the book, although there are a few little differences here and there - understandable as it is a book, not a screenplay. The depth of the characters - even the apparently shallow characters is excellent. They are captured really well. The story is excellent, and the progression of the story is well-paced. Thoroughly enjoyable. This was laugh out loud funny and my favorite Nick Hornby book. I liked the movie but the book was much better. This novel started off really promising and I was really enjoying it but it seemed to taper off towards the end. The character growth didn't seem earned or deep enough. The resolution was rushed and it was hardly a resolution at all. Hmm, not sure if I'll be trying another Nick Hornby in a hurry. 'Wie cool war Will Freeman?' Zu cool! Mit sechsunddreißig ist er so hip wie ein Teenager. Er ist ledig, kinderlos, geht in die richtigen Clubs und weiß, welche Trainer er tragen muss. Er hat auch einen tollen Weg gefunden, um bei Frauen zu punkten: Er besucht Gruppen für Alleinerziehende mit vielen verfügbaren (und dankbaren) Müttern, die alle hoffen, einen Nice Guy zu treffen. So trifft Will Marcus, den ältesten Zwölfjährigen der Welt. Marcus ist ein bisschen seltsam: Er hört Joni Mitchell und Mozart zu, kümmert sich um seine Mutter und hat noch nie ein Paar Turnschuhe besessen. Aber Marcus hält sich an Will fest - und lässt ihn nicht mehr los. Kann Will Will Marcus beibringen, wie man cool aufwächst? Und kann Marcus Will helfen, einfach erwachsen zu werden??en liten bok av Sven Nordqvist och Erik Arpi. Schulausgabe für das Niveau B2, ab dem 6. Lernjahr. Ungekürzter englischer Originaltext mit Annotationen
A follow-up to High Fidelity, British writer Hornby's superb 1996 novel about pop-music obsession, About A Boy (the film rights to which have reportedly been sold for $3 million) is an acerbic, emotionally richer yet no less funny tale. Will (36, single, lonely, in search of a girlfriend and a life) meets Marcus (12, lonely, in search of happiness for himself and his suicidal mother). At first, befriending Marcus is merely an attempt to assuage a guilty conscience brought about by a life of leisure.
