Product Description

How could I have loved the Eater of Souls, you might ask? She played games with my head, she mocked my insecurities, she refused to have sex with me because she said she felt like her dog was watching. Her dog was in New Jersey. She just felt like he was watching. You know, across space and time. He was that kind of dog.

But despite all this she was perfect for me. That is, until one day I woke up and looked over at her sleeping face and noticed something. I was unhappy. I loved her, I ache for her to this day, but I wasn’t happy. So I did the hardest and most courageous thing I have ever done. I broke up with her a month later by e-mail. Okay, in many ways, I’m small. But

I’m trying to get bigger.

David’s a mess. He doesn’t know how to get over his ex, the Eater of Souls. He tried traditional methods, such as sleeping with a co-worker and looking at his female friends in a new light. He's even tried talking to his parents - only to discover that they're definitely having a lot more sex than he is right now. But the Eater of Souls is still there, like a phantom limb after a painful amputation.

Then along comes the Goddess. She’s funny, she's clever, she’s beautiful: in short, she's perfect. But, as David well knows, the problem isn't meeting the woman of your dreams - it's managing not to screw up once you've found her.

What an Insight
This book is hilarious. Not only does it give a girl a look into the male psyche, but it also makes you laugh out loud. (I mean, do men REALLY think those things?!)
I have already purchased several copies to give as gifts to my male AND female friends. Better than Hornby and up there with Steve Horsfall in my opinion

Fantastic book!
I immediately got into this book and honestly did laugh out loud loads of times when reading it. I don't usually do that. It's just got great characters and some hilarious situations (like trying to teach puppets yoga and a office bonding trip with magic mushrooms that goes terrifyingly wrong!). It's also good on the relationship stuff. Worth a go, definitely.

Funny!
I laughed out loud on the bus not once, but multiple times. Really quite a funny book. I'm not sure what to compare it to, the closest I can get is maybe Richard Curtis writing the novelisation of Sex and the City with Carrie having a gender change. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
