I think the correct term would be "lad lit". This book is better than the movie. I read thru it "knowing" what the ending would be because I saw the movie. It was a nice surprise to find out I was wrong. You have to read it just to find out how it ends! Nice light reading and I laughed out loud several times. Nick Hornby rarely disappoints.

Currently 3.5/5 Stars.

I guess this could be called "d*ck-lit" as opposed to "chick-lit." Light, humourous, typical hornby.

Currently 0/5 Stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I had seen the movie a few times and wanted to read the book. I was very pleased. There are some similarities to the movie, but the book was better.

I loved this book. Both playful and thought provoking. Unfortunately I won't be re-posting as it will remain in my permanent collection.

Not a bad read. Not a really wonderful read, but not really bad, either. ;)
