## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sophomore Effort with a Sophomoric Result
  

*by O***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2010*

With his second novel, David Nicholls attempted to tell a story about an understudy to a superstar in a theater production in London. With his two other books under my belt (Starter for 10 or A Question of Attraction in the US, his first novel, and One Day, his third novel), I found The Understudy a bit underwhelming in comparison. Make no mistake, it is still a good read, but some of characters in this novel are just not believable. A divorced actor making a deal with the superstar to cover his indiscretions and then falling in love with his wife are just too abstract to be reliable.Overall though i think the novel is still very entertaining but if you have to choose to read one of Nicholl's three novels, skip this one and go for One Day instead.

    Highly Recommended
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015*

I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I have downloaded to my Kindle every other book this author has written.  Written with a great sense of humor (laugh-out-loud many times) the main character is one that "every man" (or woman) can identify with.  Basically a good guy, who just can't seem to catch a break.  You cannot help but love this guy, and root for him to get what he wants out of life.  Does he finally get it?  No spoiler here.  You will have to read this wonderful, engaging book to find out.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nothing Special
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2015*

David Nicholls is a fine writer but I was rather disappointed in this book. I recently read "Us" by the same author which I really liked but I am afraid I lost interest in this book and stopped reading it halfway through, something I rarely do. Having said that, the book is okay and has a few amusing moments but I just could not relate to the main character who plays the part of an understudy and although one wants him to succeed as an actor he just irritated me too much!
