The novel About a Boy by Nick Hornby shows how much someone can develop as a character/person. The thought that someone like Will would make a person up just to attain his selfish goals is appalling. Will uses his manipulative ways just so that he can meet women. Throughout his life, he lives as a lazy person who does not work for anything he earns. He uses the things around him that are tangible toward his advantage and does not think of anyone's feelings or how this would affect his lifestyle as a whole. It is remarkable that one person, Marcus, can truly change him. It is so unexpected that a 12 year old outcast can help this man realize that there are other things in life that are worth it even though they do not benefit one person. It was different to see a person like Marcus change an adult like Will and did it for the better.
