 ... things that most people think/worry about. Fairly early on in the book there is a chapter dedicated to the maths and Stretch' own score. Not only does this give the reader all the information they need about the system, but its also a clever way of introducing the character and his supposed failings. It introduces the system to us, and then uses it throughout the book. This gives you a real insight into his perception of the people that he meets/knows and really helps you to picture the characters. Once the m...more

As Harry Hill says "You've gotta have a system!". Well, Frank Stretch has a system. A system designed to determine exactly how successful the people that he meets are.

Frank Stretch has reached a rock bottom of 29 points..... This massively enjoyable book follows the fortunes of Frank Stretch, a graduate under-achiever. His unique scoring system where he scores his life out of 100 through ten different catergories, shows that with his meagre score of 29 that he needs to work on some areas in his life. I found this very enjoyable and finished it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down, its not an epic but it definitely some light hearted "read on the train on a morning monday" stuff that will make you laugh and it might even lead you to you scoring your own life....... just be prepared for your ...

Premium Review Stretch 29 - Damian Lanigan: Stretch 29  (188 words)
by Hope - written on 09/10/00 (Useful, 24 readings)

Frank Stretch is 29 years old, hugely unsuccessful and almost proud of it! By his own scoring system in the important areas of life (money, love, sex, work etc.) he scores an abysmal 29 points out of a possible 100. Although actually an Oxford graduate, Frank failed to settle into journalism and ended up as manager of a small restaurant. Unable to keep up with his more successful friends, he develops a life of drifting and lethargy until he decides to make a fresh start. His plans, however, are thwarted not only by other people but also by his own thoughtless actions. The story is very funny and full of irony and jibes at the middle-class life which ...
