Omschrijving
A comedy about love, class, growing up and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom.
The debut novel by beloved bestselling author David Nicholls.
Clever and well-written . . . Nicholls' portrayal of student affectations is accurate and funny
Brilliant . . . we would recommend it to anyone
A funny, touching novel reminiscent of the classic film Gregory's Girl with an authentic 1980s backdrop
Hugely entertaining
Nicholls delineates the whole university experience . . . But he does the serious bits well, too, and the fatherless teenager pulling himself up by his bootstraps, hopelessly out of his depth, is warmly evoked
A bittersweet coming-of-age tale . . . A fine, funny book
I laughed a lot
Wincingly good . . . spry, affecting
Hilarious . . . you won't be able to put it down
Painfully funny
I feel for Starter for Ten as I do for the pick'n'mix counter: nostalgic, giddy, happy, sick and then devastated when there is none left. I could not put this book down. I love it. Literally
Warm and funny . . . hilarious
Highly engaging
Wonderful . . . Nicholls recreates all the cringingly embarrassing moments students endure on the university bandwagon - the wild parties, tentative friendships and romantic interludes - with superb powers of characterisation. It's a fun-filled trip down memory lane for all students, with more than a touch of pathos
Hugely (and deservedly) hyped . . . Achingly funny
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
For conjuring up all those cringeworthy moments of youth, this read is unrivalled
Relentlessly delightful
Absolutely fabulous . . . brilliantly funny
Toe-curlingly embarrassing and cleverly observed . . . it'll have you wincing and laughing simultaneously. Fabulous
Wonderfully written . . . This is a lovely look back at a time when you were young enough to think that anything could happen
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
What a delight . . . David Nicholls is enormously talented, he has an exquisite eye for details, humour and the ridiculous
I absolutely loved Starter for Ten
Moving, wickedly observed, warm, uplifting and above all blindingly funny, Starter for Ten hits the spot time after time. Read this book
Brilliant . . . made me blush with remembered agonies [of university life]
This funny tale . . . will have you laughing out loud
