Amazon.com description: Product Description: Now a major motion picture
âUtterly charming . . . a big-hearted, flawless coming-of-age tale, as scary and funny as your yearbook picture.â
âPeople (****/Criticâs Choice)
The year is 1985. Brian Jackson, a working-class kid on full scholarship, has started his first term at university. He has a dark secretâa long-held, burning ambition to appear on the wildly popular British TV quiz show University Challengeâand now, finally, it seems the dream is about to become reality. Heâs made the school team, and theyâve completed the qualifying rounds and are limbering up for their first televised match. (And, whatâs more, heâs fallen head over heels for one of his teammates, the beautiful, brainy, and intimidatingly posh Alice Harbinson.) Life seems perfect and triumph inevitableâbut as his world opens up, Brian learns that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
âFresh, edgy and very funny . . . [Nicholls] has a talent for droll dialogue and a wonderful sense of the ridiculous.â
âUSA Today
âStarter for Ten has that elusive Hornby-factor. . . . Itâs wincingly funny . . . a prospect to savour.â
