A Boy
by Nick
Hornby Fiction-Net Rating Marcus
is twelve. Will is thirty-six.
Why can't they both act their
age? In his second novel, Nick
Hornby explores the connections
people make when the so-called
ideal family model does not
apply. A
bit different to Nick Hornby's
previous work but equally
impressive with many
side-splitting moments. About A
Boy has the right balance of
humour, reflection on life and
has something of a serious side
when the time is
right. About

Hornby Fiction-Net Rating According
to her own complex moral
calculations, Katie Carr has

doctor, after all and doctors are
decent people and on top of that,
her husband, David is the
self-styled Angriest Man in
Holloway. When David suddenly
becomes good, however - properly,
maddeningly,
give-away-all-his-money good -
Katie's sums no longer add up and
she is forced to ask herself some
very hard questions. How
To Be Good is a silly,
unrealistic and mostly unfunny
book and to have to say that
about a Nick Hornby novel is
unexpected. How

With The
Angel
by Nick
Hornby Fiction-Net Rating Twelve
voices, twelve completely new
stories, narrated by twelve
different characters and all
written by twelve of the most
exciting and popular writers
around. Be
warned, the Irvine Welsh story,
'Catholic Guilt - You Know You
Love It', is not for the
faint-hearted. He is as
provocative as ever. Speaking
