Thirty-six year old Will Freeman – trendy, wealthy, and utterly self-involved – is a man wrapped up in the search for immediate pleasures. Two weeks, several exams, and many tears later, I have finally made it to the review.Ībout A Boy depicts a truly strange juxtaposition of lives. Finally coming face-to-face with a hardcopy of About A Boy, and looking for a book that would not place too much demand on my already over-taxed mind, I added it to my pile of purchases.
In the midst of revision-induced insanity, I decided to go on a book rummage (my cure for everything) in one of my favourite literary haunts – Welwyn Garden City’s fabulous Oxfam bookshop. I am fully aware that, in saying this, I am committing a terrible kind of bibliophilic blasphemy.
Yet, in a strange reversal of my typical process, I have been pretty content to restrict my familiarity with the story to what is depicted in the film adaptation. About A Boy is a book that I have had on my radar for some time.
