Okayy, my brains ran out of juice today and I did practically nothing for the whole day- il dolce far niente.. The Italians couldn't be more right, what's missing today was a nice cup of espresso...
Anyhow, I read this before One Day coz I knew David Nicholls wrote One Day and since I couldnt get the book, I borrowed an alternative book from the library. Quite disappointing.
It talks about the life of Steve McQueen, a guy who's always being casted as The Dead Guy on Cops show, and as a fleeting ghost in theatres. The story revolved around him and Josh Harper, a handsome, rich, vain, and famous actor. Steve was his understudy for a theatre show and was just waiting around for the day that Josh would break a leg, so that he would have a chance to be the lead.
But Steve must be the unluckiest guy in the world. Never getting his big break, always waiting, and waiting. He was hopeful, but that hopefulness, was what drove his wife away.
He later fell in love with Josh's wife, and things just got a lil out of hand. In the end, he ended up with the gal, and well, that's that. There you have it, the story of an underdog who never got lucky until the very last few pages of the book.
