Query: Funny,Insightful Story.

Yes,I saw the movie first. I did enjoy it,I thought Hugh Grant and all the others were very well-cast and so I kept picturing when reading the book. This book is touching without being sappy and funny in a knowing way,Like the line about being able to date a typical pre-teens bedroom within a 24 hour time-frame(too true!) It even made a dead duck seem funny without being in bad taste. It also had a real feeling of London city life. All in all,an entertaining book about a man's(finally) growing up helped in part by his unlikely friendship with an eccentric 12 year old boy.
