Recensione:
“Bright, hilarious...Mr. O’Farrell has a tart narrative voice and a delectably understated way with wisecracks . . . very funny.”
–New York Times
“Great fun...sharp-witted...O’Farrell succeeds in creating a hit single for the Nick Hornby crowd.” –Publishers Weekly
“This is it, a Bridget Jones for guys...very achingly funny gag here rings true. Bottom line: the best look into a man’s mind short of a CAT scan.” –People
