Product Description

Product Description

For anyone who has ever dreamed of finding true love only to discover that happy endings are just the beginning comes this brilliantly comic novel about marriage, ex-girlfriends, 'performance anxiety', and what it takes to make happily ever last beyond the honeymoon. William is a happy man. He has just married Isabel, the girl of his dreams, and is confidently sailing along on a sea of wedded bliss. He's got a hot wife, a snazzy new job and things couldn't be much better. Sure, there are a few bumps in the road, but life on the whole is good. That is until Isabel's 'best friend' Alex starts to intrude on their wedded bliss. And when William's ex-girlfriend Saskia -- aka the 'Destroyer of Relationships' -- appears on the scene, things go from bad to worse. For marriage, William quickly discovers, has its own set of rules. And while falling in love is easy, staying in love can be a whole lot trickier! Witty, irreverent and laugh-out-loud funny, "William Walker's First Year of Marriage: A Horror Story" is the perfect novel for anyone who has ever wanted to know what the person they're facing at the altar is REALLY thinking -- and been rightly afraid to ask.


About the Author

Matt is a writer and editor on the Sunday Times, where he has worked for seven years. In the name of journalism, he has fought three Mexican wrestlers single-handed, had an affair on 'SecondLife', binge-drunk at Wetherspoons, bruised himself on a Japanese toilet and spied on his wife Harriet using the very latest GPS technology. He has also stress-tested M&S Y-fronts but prefers not to talk about it. He is 34 and lives in Kent with Harriet and their two young sons.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed out loud - very refreshing!, 7 Sep 2009
I bought this book as I have previously read a few pieces the author has written in a magazine - and this book did not let me down. From the first page I was grinning to myself and found that I could not put the book down, and finished it over 2 days. It is written in a Bridget Jones Diary style, and anyone who has been in a long term relationship will recognise the "problems" and "discussions" that the main character has with his partner. The humour is fun and fresh, and there were a few occasions where I had to put the book down and recover from a bout of laughter, or read a section out loud to my husband. If you enjoyed Bridget Jones, you will love this book - written from a Man's perspective. Very light hearted and easy to read. I am now going to look for the next book by this talented man!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 20 Sep 2009
By N. Hutchinson "nixx" (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Absolutely hilarious; I cried laughing more than once, and annoyed my husband reading snippets out to him. I read it over few hours, as it was unputdownable. MUST read. Looking forward to the sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cork-popper, 26 Sep 2009
By Anthony Peregrine (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brilliant, sparkling-wine read ... fizzes along with humour and incident, all based on razor-sharp insight. And leaves you happy and slightly inebriated. An excellent antidote to grim times and grimmer headlines, in short.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real laugh out loud read
This joins the handful of books that have made me laugh out loud rather than smile. In a genre heaving with dull books from authors trying too hard, Rudd manages an effortless,... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars An easy read
William Walker's first year of marriage was a male version of Bridget Jones. It's an easy, harmless read, however I found William's immaturity quite trying at times. Read more

Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. Whilst reading it on the tube I got the "she must be a mad commuter" stare from other passengers for laughing out loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rudd writes with biro
I mean brio. Not biro. This is a scary, funny, scary book, a spiralling descent from a summer of love and hope into a dungeon-like winter of fear and mutual suspicion. Read more
