I usually love it in the beginning, then completely lose interest in the middle third. With this one, I didn't bother finishing it. I just didn't enjoy it. I loved the setting at the start. the insane detailing of a medical world was fascinating and strange. but it just plodded along with nothing happening. and shoot me for a fish, but I didn't think it was funny at all. If he's a genius at comedy like someone claimed, I'll have to tell you that my humour and his are so far incompatible it's right off the scale. It was a nice read. but funny, it was not (unless it picked up after i left them) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Bachelor Kisses is a comic story of modern love and life when you're 20-something, single and male. It is the mess Jon Marshall makes of his life when it stops making sense - a comedy of fallibility and misjudgements. Jon, Rick and Jen share takeaway food rituals, sporadic cocktail nights and the quest for love. Rick seems destined to long, lonely nights beneath his Porky Pig doona. Jen consumes men like chocolate bars. And Jon gets lucky in a way he's never expected - more women than he knows how to handle. A medical graduate with grand plans for the hormone of darkness, he finds his life is spiralling way out of control. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

And I'm so glad that I did! This is just my cup of tea and was a great antidote to Hannah Kent's Burial Rites which, while also excellent in entirely different ways, is nothing if not grim.
The only warning I would give is that you have to have a pretty dry sense of humour to appreciate the thread of hilarity that weaves its way through this meandering tale. I have noticed quite a few readers saying "Was that supposed to be funny?" and while I was personally left in no doubt on that score, bursting into guffaws in public places on a regular basis during the reading process, I can kind of see that it just wouldn't register on some people's humour radar.
Also, I've said "meandering tale", and that needs to be taken as a gentle warning that if you want/need a traditional plot, with the usual beginning, middle, end/boy meets girl, loses girl, gets girl back again type thing... well, perhaps you'd better give this a miss. It's not like that. It's a highly amusing (as I said, if your brain works that way) journey through a period in the life of a 25-year-old medical registrar in late 1980s Brisbane who is really not at all sure what he wants in life.
Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way. And now, if you will excuse me, I'm off to listen to the Go-Betweens non-stop for some hours. ( )
