Product Description

Product Description

Bridget Jones's Diary... for lads!
For Billy Ellis, life is one series of disasters after another. His haemorrhoids have just cost him promotion, his new boss is threatening to move in next door, and on the very occasions he need a condom, he can’t even buy a packet without almost getting arrested. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he’s suddenly woken up to the fact that he’s almost thirty, still single and has the looks that give a new meaning to the word ‘average’.
But at the end of last year, as always, Billy read his ‘Log of Life’ and vowed to make things better.
And this year, he succeeded. Eventually.
Billy’s Log reveals the frustrations of life for a single male and the never-ending battle to understand the workings of the female mind.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat 21 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Although familiar with his non-fictional work, this was the first of the authors fictional books I have read and I've obviously been missing out! To be honest, I still find it slightly bizarre that an author who is more famous for writing about such an in-your-face topic as football violence can deliver a book which is both very funny and in parts, quite emotionally charged. If anything, it shows that the writer has a genuine talent because Billy's Log is a real treat and was a delight to read.

If he would deliver more of this type of work and less of the hoolie-lit, it would surely only be a matter of time before he broke out of the 'yob' mould and into the mainstream.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hugely anjoyable stuff! 3 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I approached this book thinking that it would be another slant on lad-lit but instead, what I found was a story that took what is basically a chic-lit plot and turned it on its head. However, that isn't a criticism, far from it. For Billy's Log is a genuinely warm, funny and even touching book. One which by looking at the complexities of relationships from a male perspective, brings to the fore many subjects that rarely receive an airing. In fact, I would be so bold as to suggest that the famale species would get as much out of this books us males!

But whilst thought provoking, the true strength of this book is that it's also one of those all to rare commodities, a genuine laugh-out-loud read.
