Review
Praise from William Walker’s First Year of Marriage:
‘Matt Rudd’s sparklingly energetic, sometimes laugh-aloud, sometimes touching novel…mixes the accident-prone and amiable prattishness of Lucky Jim and Bridget Jones with a liberal dollop of farce.…William turns out to be an innocent searching for the right path.…Getting to know him is to enter into the blundering, puzzled hell of the male up against the eternal feminine enigma.’ Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
‘Hilarious and hugely enjoyable. A frank, funny insight into what men really think about women and marriage.’ Tracy Quan, author of Diary of a Jetssetting Call Girl
‘Writing genius…the hilarious insights into a man’s mind will make you laugh out loud’ Cosmo
'Meet the male Bridget Jones. William’s just married and has a view on everything from ex-girlfirends and wives to male best friends and work. But his luck takes a hilarious turn for the worse. Be prepared to LOL on the train. 5 stars’ Company Magazine
'Matt Rudd's sparklingly energetic, sometimes laugh-aloud, sometimes touching novel gives us a further heads-up: actually, the Beast longs to be tamed.' The Sunday Times

This book is the tale of William Walker new parent and walking disaster!. It is a very funny tale and othat new dads will be nodding along to recognition. It made me luagh out loud
I won't spoil the plot but it involves William knocking out a very short woman at kickboxing, being accused of cat murder, destroying his home because of his didldo shaped bath taps and dealing with an ex girlfriend who eats men for breakfast! Great stuff.
Alongside the laughs are sone really touching observations of fatherhood, (Matt Rudd the author is clearly a devoted and involved daddy.)The competitive nature of mums in regard to their childs developemt and the bitchy litlle comments often made are also cleaverly observed and our hapless hero even tries to challenge them!
This is a story of friendship, home improvement, babies, the first year of marriage , changing jobs and chicken killing neighbours. A wonderful read and one especoially for the dads.

Loved the first book in the series. This one is FAR funnier. As for the reviewer who took exception to the animal cruelty...it`s not real you know. Another book soon, please!

Format:Paperback
My wife handed me this book after she had read it saying she thought it would appeal. It did. The story of a new father and his take on parenthood. Well, that is how the book starts, and is both accurate (it felt like he was reading my mind at times - I completely get the implications of a whisk in the hands of a baby!) and funny. The book seemed to slowly change direction and became a well written and amusing adventure story. Each chapter more far fetched than the last, but definitely a book that falls into the hard to achieve "un-put-down-able" category for me. If you are new parents, I'd definitely recommend this.
It is Bill Bryson type humour, as in, if you fault it because you read something and think, but that cannot really have happened, then you are missing the point. It is called artistic license. Not everything a comedian says is true, but that doesn't mean it isn't funny.
I've come on Amazon hoping to find other books by this author and delighted to learn from the other comments here that there is an earlier book about his first year of marriage. Already added to my wish list!

Hilarious + much better than the first one!!
I gave the first book in this series 3 stars because although I absolutely loved it in parts, I also felt it bordered on the utterly ridiculous a few too many times for my liking. Read more

Not As Good As The First...
