Man and Boy: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: KRAMER VERSUS KRAMER
Review: MAN AND BOY is the kind of book you buy just before boarding the plane. (The very reason why I bought the novel). Having no expectation of a literary gem, and expecting many quick laughs and few sentimental moments. Tony Parson's fiction, however, is a credible best-seller. An exception. A funny, brilliant comedy-drama.

This is "Kramer versus Kramer" for the new age. Harry's (a Shakesperian modern-man who gave up everything- a caring wife, a lovely family- for a one-night stand) relationship with son Pat is the novel's highlight, and the different stages he experienced during his separation with wife Gina.

Touching, insightful and moving. You'll cry towards the end.
