I absolutely love this book - it is very funny and the idea behind the story is a good one. Strange boy develops a friendship with uber-trendy selfish singleton, all the characters are likeable, even selfish Will. Very well written with lots of laugh out loud moments throughout. You must see the film also, I never tire of it and definitely rate it in my top 5 favourite films.
