Review title: Bitter sweet coming of age tale.
Product review: David Nicholls has made me cry. And laugh. I bought this book because of a review that said Nicholls was a writer on the UK Channel 4 show, Cold Feet , which had some of the sharpest scripts on TV. Nicholls has grown, his first novel captures the period from high school to college, where teenagers find themselves in a whole new world which is both exciting and unnerving.The story is very basic but the way he has captured the attitude to life, love, friends and family of a teenage boy is spot on. The real skill here though lies in the comedy. There are some very humorous situations that are laugh out loud funny but the book is also rich in subtle and extremely hilarious observations. This really took me back to my college days and captured the experience perfectly.If you are looking for a book that makes you laugh and (if you are old like me) reminisce, this novel delivers the perfect combination.
