So I’ve been trying to keep things pretty relaxed over at Holville and picking books that won’t do anything to spike my adrenaline. You’d think it’d be easy to find books that fit that category, but it’s harder than you might think. I recently stumbled on Nick Hornby when I read High Fidelity and he...
Nick Hornby is a feel-good comfort read for me.

They are making an American TV series of this, so I'm sure a rise in the number of people reading it will go up soon. Although it has Sam from New Girl in it, nothing will ever beat the British movie version. It's got Hugh Grant, for God sakes!
i read this book after watching the film and all i can say is the book is better (no shit sherlock). i tend to like every novel by nick hornby and about a boy is no exception. the characters were realistic and likeable while the writing style entertaining and funny.
