Meet Oliver Tate, 15. Convinced that his father is depressed and his mother is having an affair with her capoeira teacher, "a hippy-looking twonk", he embarks on a hilariously misguided campaign to bring the family back together. Meanwhile, he is also trying to lose his virginity - to his pyromaniac girlfriend Jordana. Will Oliver succeed in either aim?

Did not really appeal to me. A little graphic but probably realistic. I was disappointed.

Craig Roberts absolutely nails his performance of Oliver. Even better than he does in the film. Sublime novel.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoyed the film, I'd be very surprised if you didn't engage with this. My guess is that it will land more successfully with a British reader, as lots of the references are quite culturally specific, I could be wrong though. I laughed a lot while listening to this and am disappointed Joe Dunthorne hasn't written more for me to get through. Craig Roberts is excellent, he performs the book as well as he does in the film adaptation and I think anyone else reading it would not have been the same.

In contrast to another user's review, I do not think this is a book for teenagers. It's a book for people who have been a teenager (everyone) ...and have suffered from social awkwardness and come to bizzare conclusions about love and members of the opposite sex. Oliver Tate's twisted logic and rationale borders on the psychopathic but he's somehow still likeable.

I think your sense of humour will be the determining factor here, to whether this book is for you. If you enjoy Roald Dahl's adult short stories I think you'll enjoy this!

Knowing, witty and absurd

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It should have been made clear that this book is aimed at teenagers.

What was most disappointing about Joe Dunthorne’s story?

It didn't live up to any of its reviews. It was completely humourless the sound was awful and the narrator was one of the worst I've heard on audio book.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Weird accent, incomprehensible in parts.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No. I didn't listen to more than two hours of it.
I'll never get those two hours back.
