Summary: Read This Book
Comment: A Question of Attraction is a rare thing: a novel that entertains intelligently and humorously. As the novel begins, Brian Jackson, the eighteen year old narrator of this charming novel is about to set off for university in England during the mid-1980s, leaving his widowed mother, friends and working class background. Brian yearns to have knowledge, to learn, to have witty conversation, to meet that certain special gorgeous supremely intelligent someone. He gets to college and spends a bit more time than he would like recovering from hangovers and pining away after Alice, the perhaps unattainable girl of his dreams. He finally gets to fulfill a life-long dream: he will represent his university on University Challenge, a quiz type game show. This novel is funny, witty, heartwarming and endearing (but not sappy, not by a longshot). It's great fun to read. David Nichols is sort of like a British Tom Perrotta--he makes writing a funny and thoughtful novel look effortless. Enjoy.

Summary: A heartbreaking work of staggering genius
Comment: What a refreshing surprise it was to accidentally come across this wonderful book. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, but also has a wonderful undercurrent tinged with sadness. Truly a deep and moving book with some of the most insightful observations this side of the "big pond." Nicholls is bound to become a hot topic in this country as this book makes its way into more and more reader's hands.

Rating: 5
Summary: Fabulous!
Comment: Reads like a full book version of the Jeopardy and Reality TV chapters in Rikki Lee Travolta's book My Fractured Life. Nicholls has a droll and captivating wit. He displays a keen knowledge of the tv industry and isn't afraid to use that knowledge to make fun of it. Fans of My Fractured Life will surely enjoy this one. Absolutely Fabulous!
