Oh nice - school has started again? *smile*
This title "About a Boy" I've already heard once before. Wait - I think I've seen a so called movie... in German it's called "Der Tag der toten Ente". But I don't know if it's the same as the book.
Perhaps you can give a brief overview about the contents of the book?

Yes, here school already has started again. But it's okay, I like my courses very much
.
Yeah, there's a movie with the same title which is based on the book (I don't know the German title). But I haven't seen it yet.
The book deals with two guys, Marcus (12) and Will (36). Marcus is an outsider and doesn't have any friends. His mother is the only close person he has got and she has split up with her husband.
Will is a very "cool" person with lots of friends and he's also got a lot of one-night-stands.
One day they meet and become friends, but Will is dating with Marcus' mother and she tries to commit suicide, so there are a lot of problems.
Do you know the story??
