How Not to Grow Up

Edición de la obra How Not to Grow Up!

The misadventures of an immature man in an adult worldWhen my dad turned 40, he had been married for 17 years, had 3 children, wore a suit and tie every day and had proper grown up hobbies like gardening, golf and making elderflower wine. At the same age, I tend to put money in the bank, take it out of the cash machine, and spend it on booze and sweets.Comedian Richard Herring has a major problem. He's about to turn 40 and hasn't seen it coming. He's not married, doesn't have a proper job or 2.4 children. But now, fi nally, it looks as if the world expects him to be a grown up – and he's completely unprepared for it.As the momentous and terrifying event approaches (his birthday), Richard notices a steep decline inhis own behaviour. Inexplicably he begins to behave more childishly – hanging out with 22-year-olds, developing an unhealthy addiction to Flumps and even getting into a ludicrous fight.How Not to Grow Up is the hilarious story of how a self-confessed perpetual Big Kid deals with his greatest fear – getting older – and is the perfect book for everyone who, deep down, still thinks that they're 18.
