Excellent book. Entertaining, witty and above all moving. You start off thinking Harry Silver is just some average guy and it's going to be a Nick Hornby-type of book about male paranoia. But it really isn't. It's a book about deep human relationships with your parents, spouse and child. It is a love declaration to a child and to a father. It's moving and yet not trivial. Highly recommend it.

Man and Boy is the best book I have read in years. I was so moved by it that I wanted to grab a copy of the sequel. I nearly got hysterical when Man and Wife was not available in most bookstores in Singapore and Philippines. I emphatize with the character Harry having such an unforgiveable wife. :-D It thought me a lesson about fidelity, love for family and giving love a second chance.
Highly recommendable! Better than Nick Hornby. Love it! Tony Parson's give us some more!

I didn't really enjoy reading this book much as it was quite boring. I didn't find it at all moving and very rarely was it funny. It is written well but just wasn't interesting enough for me to enjoy.

The book didn't live up to the standards that i was hearing about. but there were some suprises instore. i think the reviews somewhat mislead the reader into thinking the story is about one thing and you go on to find complex issues within it. it is alot like Fight Club, i wonder how many people went to see it for the title and not for the story. it was alot like that. i think the suprises were well recieved, and the harsh realities about single motherhood is dealt with well and the way men are also seen in an unbiased way are also suprising. you would think that the book would be biased toward males, making them the better off characters in the book, since the author is male and the title is 'male' but the women are seen fairly and are well represented, they are also the characters who have alot of control in the book. this is a great book for people who want to raise awareness about the issue of single parenthood and also those who might find themselves in a situation to learn about how others deal with their problems. although most of the dilemas are Harry's and revolve around Harry, he gives a good account about everything.
