A feel-good tale about life changes, romance, and hope - even in the midst of an IT department.
Terry's dead-end IT job is about as much fun as an internal cavity search. Chances of promotion? None. Chances of a raise? Not happening. Chances of romance? Nada.
It's time for a change, but that's easier said than done when your prospects are as dismal as the Irish weather in January. Enter stage left a gorgeous young girl who inexplicably finds him interesting. Toss in a mysterious wooden box hidden in his late father's workshop and the dull monotony of Terry's life is broken.
But will it stay that way? What is in the wooden box? Can love conquer all - even the terrible tedium of a dead end job?
This is for all the office workers, all the cynics, all the souls who look into their future with nothing but dread.
What people are saying..."'Office Space' meets 'Weird Science' in this unique and intelligent romantic comedy that will surely make you laugh out loud with its wit." --Matthew Hanover, author of "Not Famous"
"If there was a second book available at the time of writing this review, I'd have already purchased it. The author has actually found a rare balance of humour, poignancy, and intrigue which entices you to keep turning the pages. The characterisation is superb and I felt genuine empathy with Terry (the protagonist) early on. He is such a relatable character and I think we all know a Terry. Either that, or we are a Terry!"
"It moves along at a cracking pace and is a great balance of dark (but not too dark) and light - a few moments did make me laugh out loud. I'm now eagerly awaiting the sequel"
"A great debut from this author. I laughed out loud several times whilst reading this book. The characterisation of the protagonist is believable and the author must work in the IT industry to know the types who work there. Highly recommended if you want a light and enjoyable read. I'm hoping the author writes a sequel."
"It had me page turning from the very beginning. Terry is like the male version of myself!!! The book made me laugh and it made me cry. Although I'm not an IT person I enjoyed the tech talk! Desperate for the sequel now!!!"
"I really liked this book. It's a convincing tale of a man stuck in his own private hell and finding his way out of it, or at least it seemed that way to me.
There's some odd bits about it, but they're good bits."
"I loved this book. A real page turner. The characters are believable and relatable and it's full of what I call 'intelligent humour'!! Would definitely recommend."
"Surprise surprise, it 's a very well written story which I really enjoyed. Interesting characters and some great laugh out loud moments.
Buy, read and enjoy....... can't wait for part 2"
