About this product

Product Information

A wise and hilarious novel from the bestselling author of Funny Girl, High Fidelity , and About a Boy. A brutally truthful, compassionate novel about the heart, mind, and soul of a woman who, confronted by her husband's sudden and extreme spiritual conversion, is forced to learn "how to be good"--whatever that means, and for better or worse... Katie Carr is a good person...sort of. For years her husband's been selfish, sarcastic, and underemployed. But now David's changed. He's become a good person, too--really good. He's found a spiritual leader. He has become kind, soft-spoken, and earnest. Katie isn't sure if this is deeply felt conversion, a brain tumor--or David's most brilliantly vicious manipulation yet. Because she's finding it more and more difficult to live with David--and with herself.

  • How to Be Good, Almost

    Being a Nick Hornby fan of monstrous proportions I fully expected to love this book as I had loved High Fidelity, About a Boy, and Long Way Down. I read this fairly quickly, and while engaging, it was not exciting. None of the characters were all that likable for me, I really didn't care much what happened to the lot of them. It was well-written, but for me it just missed the mark.
