How to Be Good has the ironic, funny, startlingly
accurate take on our modern selves and our modern world
that has become Hornby's turf as a chronicler of our
popular culture—but this time he tackles it all with more
richness and depth, and carries his readers beyond the
comic confines of the novel to a bigger truth about
themselves. It's a story about how to wreck your marriage,
how to help the homeless, how not to raise your kids, how
to find religion . . . and how to be good.
