The book was written by Nick Hornby.
I was wlaking around in a bookshop today and tadaa.. there it was.
[yeah right.. wlaking.. who typed that? walking.. i was WALKing]
As books are one thing I have a hard time to resist I had to buy it right away.
Spitfire is gonna be my book guide from now I guess

Nex : I've read through 2 complete libaries in between my 10th and 16th so i like to think i know what im talking about 
About A Boy is simply stunning. It's right up there with shit like catch 22 and the lord of the flies when it comes to storytelling, character development en balance. You wont regret spending your last few bucks on it...
