Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
When even his friends refer to him in print as 'a balding, bug-eyed opportunist with the looks of a beach ball, the charisma of a glove-puppet, and an ego the size of a Hercules supply plane' the odds of Toby Young scoring-in any sense-appear to be slim. But then unlikely success came with How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. After receiving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from a big Hollywood producer, Toby sets his sights anew on a high-flying career, this time on the West Coast. But it doesn't take long for Toby's fabled 'brown thumb' and self-sabotaging instincts to spectacularly reassert themselves. On the home front, meanwhile, things seem to be looking up: Toby manages to persuade his girlfriend to marry him and move to Los Angeles--but then she decides to abandon her promising legal career in order to become a fulltime housewife ...and mother. Toby's increasingly hapless attempts to pursue a glamorous showbiz career while buried in diapers will strike a chord with all modern fathers struggling to find the right work/life balance ...and with their utterly exasperated wives. Failure - and fatherhood - have never been funnier.
