About the Book

The year is 1985 and Brian has just started his first term at university, armed with the obligatory CND membership and a complete set of Kate Bush albums. But he also has a dark secret - a long-held, burning ambition to appear on University Challenge and now, finally, it seems the dream is about to become reality. He's made the team, they've successfully completed the qualifying rounds and are limbering up for their first televised match in January. Surely it's only a matter of time before Brian is shaking hands with Bamber Gascoigne and holding aloft the silver-plated commemorative plaque But Brian has a whole lot of living to do before then and when he falls in love with his team-mate, the off-puttingly posh Alice, he finds there's more than a spanner in the works ... In STARTER FOR TEN, David Nicholls has written a novel that will have you sniggering uncontrollably for days and leave you begging for more. Are you up to the challenge

About the Author :
David Nicholls is currently one of the most successful young screenwriters working in television. His credits include the third series of COLD FEET, I SAW YOU and RESCUE ME, which he also created. He co-wrote the screenplay for SIMPATICO, a film starring Jeff Bridges, Sharon Stone, Nick Nolte and Albert Finney. STARTER FOR TEN is David's first novel.

Review :
Achingly funny - She I laughed out loud, I cringed in recognition, and more than once I paused in admiration at an observation so wry, so on the money, I wondered why it had never occurred to me before. There have been many pretenders to the throne of Hornby; David Nicholls is his legitimate heir - Mike Bullen, creator of 'Cold Feet' Starter for Ten is the debut of the year; a recommendation repeated by all who come in contact with it ... Trust us, you'll love it - Arena
