Man and Boy is a moving story told with amazing insight by Tony Parsons. Sincerity of feelings, humor, irony of the narrative, modern attitude to the issues of relationships and the world around us allowed this book by a famous British journalist to become an international bestseller and book of the year in the UK. Critics have compared Man and Boy to Bridget Jones's Diary. At the same time, the book is rightly considered a natural complement to Helen Fielding’s ironic and universal picture of the lives of modern thirty-year-olds.
