John O'Farrell The Best a Man Can Get Review

Overall Rating

very funny. acutely observed and tellingly true to life. a good story as well

none as far as i'm concerned

A married man with 2 children leads a double life: family man and bum. he spends half his time with family and the other half allegedly working but infact spends all day in bed or down the pub with 3 other misfits in a flat on the other side of london.
a series of increasingly near misses occur between his 2 lifestyles until the inevitable happens - his wife finds out, with predictably disastrous consequences. the final part of the book deals with their reconciliation.
