I have to admit, when I first picked up this book I was expecting the usual laddish gut-laugh type humour usually delivered by Danny King. He is after all well versed in building characters and situations to deliver these killer 'laugh out loud' blows that seem designed to cause you maximum embarrasment as you wipe the tears from your eyes in front of a train full of perplexed commuters, all now trying to put an extra few inches between themselves and the laughing nutcase in seat 12C. Rest assured, the big laughs are still there by the bucketful, so this book will definitley appeal to readers used to Dannys more usual style, but this story has an additional something else, something very special...
In 'Infidelity for Beginners', Danny King has taken a very 'real' subject matter that has no redeeming comedy aspect at all, and built a touching, emotional, funny and thoroughly engaging story with real depth and meaning. The situations he describes are portrayed with such realism that they are either built from years of research, or more likley I feel, he has drawn on his own experiences to recreate them in his own inimitable style. If this is the case, then this must have been an extraordinarily difficult book to write, since it touches on the deepest emotions and fears of human existance, but in a way that is both comforting and thoroughly amusing at the same time.
This book deserves to be seen in the printed form, since I believe that along with 'Blue Collar', it represents the Danny King's expansion away from the Waterstones 'Summer Reads - buy 2 get 1 free' table where I first found 'The Pornographer Diaries' into a well rounded and versatile author to be taken very-very seriously.
Buy it, read it, and enjoy it. It's a bloody good book.

I too have been a fan of Danny King for some time now and recommend him to friends whenever I can. As much as I have enjoyed his earlier books (which are great), I've liked his transition into other themes - it shows that he can use his funny approach with unique story lines and delicate situations, which is the case in `Infidelity for beginners'.
It's always hard not to relate to the main character I find, with the same twist and turns, you'll be taken through a real situation with warmth, humour and a realsitic portrayal of what anyone might find them in.
Lastly, after reading this title, it has opened my eyes on books I may have ignored in the past due to preconceived ideas on the subjects portrayed in them. I think this is a great thing for a book to create.
Looking forward to his next title and will let everyone I know who enjoys them that a 'new' book is out. Keep up the good work :)

Having been a fan for some time now I await each release more and more. This little number, although different in style to King's other books still managed to keep me hooked all the way through. The voice of the protagonist is as strong as Bex, Milo or Banners. The funnies are in place as always. It takes a pretty clever writer to make a reader laugh from the written word and Danny has mastered that art finely.
Bring on the next one. Then the next and so on.
