Product Description

Product Description

Part One: Mad About the Girl, or Phil Neville's Lunge Part Two: Wanting the Girl, or Michael Owen's Hair Part Three: Getting the Girl, or David Beckham's Knee Part Four: Losing the Girl, or Theatre of Dreams The day Terry sees Julie in the gym for the first time is the day of the England vs Romania match - the latest of the Great English Disasters - and the day his father announces that he's going to walk out. Things couldn't be worse. Only they could. Gorgeous Julie is a Liverpool fan. Even if he could summon up the courage to speak to her, Terry has a problem. This is Terry's diary as he tries to cope simultaneously with first love, the unexpected break-up of his parents' marriage, and the traumas of the Beautiful Game. A lighthearted, fast-paced, bang-up-to-the-minute and totally credible account of a 15-year-old boy who worries that he looks like Chris Evans, it is Alan Gibbons at his best and most readable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly funny but also sad at times..., 6 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Another one of Alan Gibbons' books orientated around football! But this time a little more...romance is included.

As we travel through 15- year-old Terry's diary accounts, we learn that things cant get much worse for him. Mad about football, England lose to Romania at Euro 2000 the same night as his parents unexpectedly announce that they are splitting up. As if there wasn't enough going on for Terry, it is also the same day when he falls madly in love with a new girl at school, Julie! Terry is a dedicated Man U supporter, so finding out that Julie supports Liverpool shatters him even more. To make things harder still, he will have strong competition in getting the girl he has fallen madly in love for, as the schools golden boy, 'Frisky Fitzy' also has his eyes on her! Julie however, is mad about footballer Michael Owen...who, lets not forget, plays for Liverpool! This means, to get anywhere with Julie, Terry may have to make many difficult compromises revolving around the lens in which he looks at life through, football!

So as you can imagine, simultaneously trying to cope with fist love, the unexpected break up of his parents' marriage and the defeat of 'The Beautiful Game,' Terry falls into all kinds of interesting situations from which he tries to squiggle out of unharmed! But as you read further into the book, things start to improve for Terry and his life as he knows it, begins to change totally...

The book is very up to date and illustrates very well, typical teenage life. There are times when it is hilariously funny and times when we are invited to sympathise with Terry. But it follows the true Alan Gibbons style, once you begin to read it, you have to finish reading it!

Alan Gibbons has also won a Blue Peter Book Award, in the category, 'Book I couldn't Put Down.'
