Book Review: About a Boy
Summary: 3 Stars
With his usual doses of wit and wisdom Nick Hornby once again uses a sort of good-for-nothing guy as an example of how live a good life. Will Freeman spends his days doing 30-minute increments of nothing and trying to hide the fact that he comes up as a blank every time he meets an attractive woman. As much to his surprise as anyone else's there is actually something there. Beyond his carefully sculpted persona of cool Will Freeman may actually be a human being. Remembering the days when being cool was in end in itself, I wonder if there was any substance to it...
