Man and Boy by Tony Parsons

This is my third of Tony Parsons. He wins my heart. HEHE. His words are easy. No big literature but full of beautiful words, taking from the best songs, especially from Sinatra.

I see that he (Parsons) really adores Frank Sinatra and by his second book, I too, fell in love with Frank Sinatra. Okay, enough about me and Parsons.

This book tells a life of a man who is left with his boy, his son. It was about Harry Silver, who has just reached thirty and found himself having this not so middle aged crisis. His wife on the other hand let him get what he wants as he is turning thirty, because obviously it was the love between them was so strong and she trusted him so much.

It was until Harry found himself into his assistant, ending up having one night stand with him and messing up by leaving a voice message to Harry's phone which at that time was with his wife.

When his wife found out about this, she felt the betrayal was too much for she had sacrificed her career and everything in order to marry Harry before, so she decided to leave Harry to pursue her first dream, her career, in Japan.

Harry was left devastated to know that he was fired from his job. He was left with his son and no job.

Harry faced things as they come, with help from his parents. He had done his best with his son, and in time found himself new love, while his wife too found her new love.

This book has everything, it will make you laugh, cry and angry.
When you love someone enough, you will know when to let go

Excuse my poor review. I just couldn't help seeing this page is not updated. HEHE.
