Book Reviews of Man and Boy: A Novel
Book Review: A can't-put-it-down-till-the-last-page winner.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful, can't-put-it-down till the end book, in which the author, with great humor, tenderness, and humanness, describes the break up of a relationship, the role the father takes in raising his child, and all that happens afterwards. It's a story, in part, about a father's role as parent, and, to some extent, the injustices in a system that assumes the mother is the parent of choice in custody matters. However, this is really not the main thrust of the story. It's simply a story about a man who loves his son, who is devoted to raising him, and the love between them and the trials that follow as he attempts to raise his son as a single parent. Extraordinary (yes, slightly sentimental, innocent, and touching -- but when did all that, with all our culture's current cynicism -- become a bad thing?) Very touching and very much recommended. (Nick Hornby-esque, for sure). This is now one of my favorite books. Can't wait to read the sequel.
