Product Description
Danny Wallace
‘Funny, rude and entertaining ... Will strike a chord with anyone who is, was, or will be a twentysomething’
Book Description
Twenty Something recounts a year in the life of Jack Lancaster, a go-getting graduate in the City, who is mainly going and getting drunk. Inspired by the sage advice of Flatmate Fred, Jack decides to start keeping a diary, in the hope that by writing down his thoughts, he’ll be able to tease out the snags in his complicated life: his disastrous relationship with the luscious Lucy, his dismal job in an investment bank, and his general dissatisfaction with life as a twentysomething in the City.
Setting out to sabotage his career and save his soul, Jack embarks on a war of nerves with his sarcastic, Latin-spouting boss, Mr Cox and dumps his girlfriend, falling head over heels in love with the office beauty. But when his ex takes up with his ginger best friend by way of revenge, Jack’s life spirals further into chaos, until a tragic twist of fate sets him on a bumbling journey towards a life less awful.
With a hilarious cast of friends, family and workmates, and capturing a moment in life with which every twentysomething (and thirtysomething) will identify, Twenty Something will amuse and horrify in equal measure, anyone who’s ever hated their job and had their heart broken.

Format:Paperback
Iain is so clever in the way he wrote this book. I can't stop laughing at the witty conversations and details. This is such a great way to describe about the boredom and lack of motivation/direction in the modern youth generation. Highly recommended!

Format:Paperback
A real, witty romp of a book that makes you laugh, cry and cringe. It's hero, Jack Lancaster, disillusioned by a 6-figure salary and life in the city, sets about finding his life's real purpose with funny friends, hilarious consequences, and a deliciously self-deprecating sense of humour. Sheer entertainment over literary prowess, but nicely life-affirming all the same. Loved it.

This was one of the funniest books I have read in ages. As a 25 year old girl I loved the insight it gave me into my male friends minds (and according to them it is quite accurate!!). I started reading this on a train to Stansted and had finished on landing in Naples - its a fast paced well written and enjoyable read. I wouldn't hesitate in recomending it to anyone - go and buy it.

I have never been much of a reader. It is hard for me to stay focused on one book as boredom sets in half way through. However, this book is based on my life!! Read more
