Starter For Ten - David Nicholls
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Fantastic, easy to read book. Very funny and I related to how he felt about life, relationships and growing up. Even my other half enjoyed it! PS the film was a bit disappointing because it had a lot to live up to, but probably better if you haven't read the book.

This book are funny and almost everyone could relate to Brian in someway. He was desperate to fit in at university but just didnt. From spots to friends and women, he struggled with them all.
Cringeworthy but amusing.
