Synopsis
It's 1985 and Brian Jackson has arrived at university with a burning ambition - to make it onto TV's foremost general knowledge quiz. But no sooner has he embarked on 'The Challenge' than he finds himself falling hopelessly in love with his teammate, the beautiful and charismatic would-be actress, Alice Harbinson. When Alice fails to fall for his slightly over-eager charms, Brian comes up with a foolproof plan to capture her heart once and for all. He's going to win the game, at any cost, because - after all - everyone knows that what a woman really wants from a man is a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge...Starter for Ten is a comedy about love, class, growing-up and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom. Are you up to the challenge of the funniest novel in years?

caffcaff gave me this book today, she thought i might like it.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book is going with caffcaff to the Meet Up. If no one wants it, it will probably stay in the OBCZ there.

Won in the bookswap game at the George and Dragon meet up.

RELEASE NOTES:

Realised I have another copy of this, so am releasing back into the wild.

I have been meaning to read this - I like the look of the film too.

This was the book I took into hospital with me to read when I had my hip replacement operation. It was just the right level of humour and daft students getting pissed and fancying people - brought back memories of halls of residence! I finally finished the book this morning in the quiet of my own home. The bit with University Challenge was right at the end - but worth the wait! Now I want to see the film.

Won by Suedo in the Friday Night ALS#6 on www.bookswaplive.com - join us there every Sunday at 8pm.
