Certainly that rings true of many men, and the potential woman reader of this will agree with my judgement there. But what they won't like is the second half of this book, which just doesn't ring true. It seems to be a bizarre fantasy, some heightened ticking-off from a wish-list, and I never believed it for one minute. Separate to its existence alone, it featured a major decision that Adam does take, and I read and reread it and never once found where and why he takes the choice – it's just to be accepted and dealt with that he has. That lack of nous as regards the character killed the book off for me, which had been mildly tolerable for certain long spells, but hardly featured real romance and never once really fell into the comedy bracket either. I think I laughed once, late on, but it was forgotten with the turning of the page. Before then the humour seems to come from how often Adam and the woman could go over the same private in-joke.

I must still thank the publishers for my review copy.
