The latest Nick Hornby. Very much in the same style as High Fidelity and About a Boy. Guaranteed to give you a laugh!

Blurb: 'Van i explain why i wanted to jump off the top of a tower block?'
For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: he has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it all...But not, as it happens, alone.
