Man and Boy

by: Tony Parsons (author)

2.56 45

A fabulously engaging and exciting novel about a man who has to learn about life and love the hard way. Harry Silver has it all. A successful job in TV, a gorgeous wife, a lovely child. And in one moment of madness, he chucks it all away. Man and Boy is the story of how he comes to terms with his life and achieves a degree of self-respect, bringing up his son alone and, gradually, learning what words like love and family really mean. It is very well written, pacy, funny, and heart-breakingly moving.

Like I said before, "Man and Boy" by Tony Parsons was predictable. I really enjoyed his other books, but that one.. I was bored to death, too bad I'm unable to flounce a book, any book. I'm happy I've finished it.

Come on, what's left to be said about Harry Potter? This is a re-read book, and after so many years I still like it a lot. Sadly, I'm not a 13 year old anymore, which means I'm more critical this time around, noticing the too convenient situations in the story. Still pretty damn good, of course!

It is the kind of chick-lit written by a bloke book with a male as the protagonist but the issues not only appealing or significant to males only.It is foll...
