The Understudy

The Understudy
By David Nicholls
1565119878 (book on CD)

Once there was a famous actor who starred in a play in London. He had a beautiful, funny wife, adoring fans, an amazing home, and the respect of those around him. This is the story of his understudy. Steven is in love with Josh's wife, wants his fame and the respect, though is a little boggled at the house. Other than that, he'd gladly trade lives. When he and Josh's wife become friends, things get pretty interesting in his formerly dull life. His daughter is one of the bright spots in this book, she's witty and intelligent and yet still a child. Not easy to pull off. The ending drags a bit, and there are a few phrases that become overused by the end. Overall, a good book.

8/10
