I didn't not enjoy it - I just wouldn't look him up again.<br /><br />Kathy - I never even picked up on the name thing. I wonder if he did that on purpose?Luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831940198814551829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-42851871574422644202009-10-06T17:08:57.281-04:002009-10-06T17:08:57.281-04:00Do you think it's a coincidence that the main ...Do you think it's a coincidence that the main character shares his name with the main character in the movie It's a Wonderful Life?bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-19848622131890644902009-10-06T17:02:32.451-04:002009-10-06T17:02:32.451-04:00I've read this one!

In fact, here's my review:<br /><br />http://book-chic.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-starting-over-by-tony-parsons.html<br /><br />I agree with you: George was not my favourite character. However, Tony Parson's writing style intrigued me enough that I picked up a copy of his bestselling book "My Favourite Wife" at the bookstore the other day. He has an easy rapport with his reader, so I have high hopes for this one. Despite the fact that George was annoying at times, I would still recommend this book to anyone who traditionally enjoys "women's fiction".

Definitely written from a male point of view, but could appeal to both sexes to read. I did find that I was less sympathetic to the lead character in this one and leaned more towards his wife.Luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831940198814551829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-56647558586669655872009-10-06T10:24:37.693-04:002009-10-06T10:24:37.693-04:00I haven't heard of this book or author, but I ...I haven't heard of this book or author, but I must admit that the idea of male chick lit intrigues me.
