My Legendary Girlfriend - Mike Gayle

 
Description: ISBN 0340718161 / Author: Mike Gayle / Genre: Fiction

Newest Review: ... 'Modern Classics' - now that's more like it. It's modern so there'll be none of this 'And foresuth Guinevere did but hark ... more

 ... whence Heratio's carriage was upon thee' (I know what you're thinking, yes I did have to bribe the examinations board for that grade C in English Literature) type malarkey. But it still has 'Classics' in its title so it ticks the culture box. Sadly at this point I got distracted by one of the other genres, 'Lad Lit', and I forgot about my Classics quest. To those of you who have never encountered the phenomenon of Lad Lit (I'd never heard of it before, but then I don't think I've ever mentioned this but I'm not a...more

I, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, am not a very well read individual. I have a grade 'C' in English Literature GCSE, and have to ask my wife the meaning of 'big words' on a fairly regular basis. Basically I'd struggle on Countdown. Suzi Dent would look down on me (well Suzi always strikes me as a nice lady, she'd probably disguise her disdain to safeguard my feelings). But don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for your pity or sympathy, I'm not an idiot (believe it or not). I can do mathematics to a slightly above average level (I'd do ok at the numbers bits on Countdown, 'One from the top and five from anywhere of your choosing Carol', and boyish wink to ...

Hands up those of you who have ever been dumped in the past. I?m sure nearly all of you have got your pinkies waving in the air now....almost everybody has been ?finished? by a boyfriend/girlfriend at some point in their lives. When I was 16, my boyfriend decided he?d had enough of me and got his best mate to ring me up to do his dirty work for him. He didn?t have the nerve to speak to me himself. My experience had a happy outcome though as a few weeks later he was grovelling to go back out with me and we eventually got married! If you have been dumped, can you honestly say that you were still pining for that person ...

Premium Review My Legendary Girlfriend - Mike Gayle: On the whole - disappointing (340 words)

I really wanted to love this book - really, I did. It came highly recommended by a friend whose opinion I value highly, and when I read the blurb on the back of the book I'm afraid that I recognised a lot of myself in the main character. So, yes, I really wanted to love it. Did I love it? Well to be honest, no I didn't. On the whole it was an average read. It tells the story of one weekend in the life of Will Kelly. Will is a newly qualified teacher who is still in love with the girl who dumped him three years ago. He's seen other people since but none have ever matched up to Aggi. She is 'The One'. He's got friends, including one special ...
