Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Hilarious, sophisticated, compulsive . . . a bitingly clever novel of ideas, on a subject almost nobody else has written about - how would a totally good person get on in the modern world? (Sunday Times)

A dark espresso-length comedy that nobody else could have written (New Statesman)

The writing is so funny and the set-pieces so brilliant (The Times)

Perhaps the most poised piece of writing Hornby has yet produced . . . only this writer has the wit and the stringency to take on this easy comedy and draw compelling, even universal pathos from it (Observer)

Brilliantly funny (Heat)

Pins you in your armchair and won't let go . . . How to be Good? How to be bloody marvellous more like (Mail on Sunday)

It does exactly what it says on the cover. Hornby's prose is artful and effortless, his spiky wit as razored as a number-two cut (Independent)

Reseña del editor:

According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. She's a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katie's sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions.
