Six Months to get a Life... by Ben Adams

How many times can you say ‘I’m not bitter’ and mean it?

A lot of married couples end up too tired to fight anymore, and the way you met should have been a clue… but what could have been a depressing read turned out to be more interesting than ‘Bridget Jones’.
The diary format and intelligent humour really works, creating six hilarious months to change Graham Hope’s life.Interestingly, on his original to-do list, there was no mention of finding someone new to love, but he manages that too, in spectacular style.There were sad moments, well integrated into the story, and even though you are with him every step of the way, you end up applauding his achievements as if they were your own…I usually try to visualise a book as a film when I’m reading it…and if it works, it’s a good indication of how good it really is. This book was a film, at least it felt like one to me. I think I laughed practically all the way through!Ben has managed to turn what was essentially a miserably bad time, into the funniest book I have read in a while!
Love the comment about the size of Grahams ego…


Ben Adams                        ******************




Like a lot of people, Ben went to school, then college and eventually grew up and got a responsible job, a house and a family. 
And then his mid-life crisis kicked in.Realising that life was in danger of becoming all too serious, Ben started writing. Not in the way that Forest Gump started running, but at least he started.
He wrote on steamed up mirrors in the bathroom to make his children smile.  Eventually he graduated to making up stories to entertain his kids at bed-time.For some reason his boys didn’t seem interested in his tales of every-day life, relationships, family, trauma, farce and the occasional bit of debauchery.  His 12 year old son told him that he preferred JK someone or other.Following his short-lived career as a children’s author, Ben now concentrates on writing stories for grown-ups.  He writes for people who have lived, loved, worked, strived and suffered – people like himself. People like you.
He has a gift for finding humour where others just find pain; and also for finding pain where others find humour.Ben lives in southwest London with his two boys, his dog and his constant stream of girlfriends.  He dreams a lot too.Follow Ben's journey further at  http://blog.benadamsauthor.com
