In any event I don't see how the humor could be translated into a movie unless the movie was narrated. Its the guys observations that made it funny.
Have you read "How to Be Good". That was the first book (and only other book) I have read by Horby, but it was really good. Really funny.

I didn't read that one, but "High Fidelity" was good, as was the movie, which I did see (and if you haven't you should) and "About A Boy" was also good.
