Advantages: funny, good read

Disadvantages: cant put it down

This has got to be one of my favorite books. I actually bought it after the movie came out although i hadn't seen it,(only the trailers) also I already knew what a great author Nick Hornby was because I have also read the book "how to be good" so I thought I'd give this a go.

I couldn't bare to put it down. There are a mixture of emotions and events in this book one minute you are shocked the next you are crying with laughter. The basic line of the story begins with a man joining a mothers group pretending to have a kid thinking its an easy way to pull the women. He ends up going out on a picnic with one of the women and some children shes looking after one geeky kid tends to latch on to the man and then they get involved with each others lives. Nick hornby has done it again and has produced an exeptionally good book

Blimey, that felt like the first few lines of the poem Howl! It was like a headlong rush! You got an awful lot of info into a very few words there but something a little bit more considered with some punctuation would have been nicer. Sorry for the meanie rating though. :(
