Starter for Ten is a comedy about love, class, growing-up and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom from the author of the smash hit One Day.

But no sooner has he embarked on 'The Challenge' than he finds himself falling hopelessly in love with his team-mate, the beautiful and charismatic would-be actress, Alice Harbinson.

When Alice fails to fall for his slightly over-eager charms, Brian comes up with a foolproof plan to capture her heart once and for all. He's going to win the game, at any cost, because - after all - everyone knows that what a woman really wants from a man is a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge…©2003 David Nicholls Contemporary Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction

I thoroughly enjoyed reading David Nicholls books until I read this one. An unlikable main character makes constant embarrassing mistakes building up to a telegraphed and unlikely disaster that kills any desire to finish the book.

Not credible or enjoyable.
