The Best a Man Can Get : A Novel of Fatherhood and its Discontents

Rating:
Summary: The Best a Reader Can Get
Review: From start to finish I felt "involved".I worked in Clapham at the time I read the book which helped. It's probably the best laugh I have ever had out of a book.
I'd love to see it made into a film. If done right, with the right characters, it could run rings around Bridget Jones.
The phone box incident and the "gay denial" were classic!!

Summary: Do me a favour
Review: Yeah right, Nick Hornby, Bridget Jones, Tony Parsons, thats about the mark. If undistinguished hacks banging on about the obvious is your bag maybe this dismal sack of cliches will be bang up your alley. If you prefer Sade to Hendrix, Freddie Starr to Bill Hicks, Blind Date to Blue Jam then this insipid scribble may well light up your life.

Summary: If you are about to get married, or are considering it....
Review: you must read this book. For women, it can be very enlightening, and men will see much of themselves in the main character. It is very funny, but also very thoughtful. Not that I know first hand, but it seems to accurately chronicle the disatisfaction that many young men have with marriage, while not glorifying the behavior that leads to this disatisfaction. Deep down its message is that you need to appreciate what you have and that marriage requires maturity and sacrifice.
