"Hugely entertaining... About a Boy is laughter in the dark" - The Times

"Writing with real 'soul.'" - Harper's Bazaar

"A touching tale that deserves to make every adult laught out loud" - Mail on Sunday

Will Freeman wants an easy life with no responsibilities. But then he meets Marcus - an unusual twelve year old boy with serious problems.

About a Boy is a modern classic - a very funny story about a very serious subject: love. It's also a popular movie starring Hugh Grant.
