At the start I thought this is just going to be a trashy bloke not wanting to grow older story. It is that but there is so much more to it. Its about having a rose-tinted view of the past and wondering what that like would of been like. Most of the book is funny, there is lots of things to laugh about. However there is one event that is very sad and it sort of feels like a bucket of cold water has just hit you. I liked this.Alex I think I must have read a different book given all the 4 star reviews on here?Whilst there are whimsical moments in here I find it slightly incredulous that people found it THAT funny.It reads like a male version of Bridget Jones Diary to some extent, except the daily update regards snack foods.It does tackle men v women issues, but there's a distinct lack of originality in here, it felt like reading every second rate sit-com from the last decade.To balance things up slightly, there was some genuine warmth in the realtionship between the protagonist and his Grandfather, but even some of that was engineered for comic effect.I'd read more by this author, but would want a more original and fresh approach please.
I really enjoyed this one it had me in stitches and made me cringe, it was very truthfull of men!
