Williams Progress by Matt Rudd

Williams Progress by Matt Rudd

A brilliant new comic novel about love, marriage, parenthood and the million tiny little things that conspire to trip you up on the rocky road to all three.

‘Matt Rudd’s sparklingly funny creation William Walker – dubbed Mr Bridget Jones – returns…hilarious’ Sunday Herald

‘’William himself, while charting the 12 months following his son’s birth, reveals an impressive aptitude for blokeish idiocy…this diary of William’s failure to take even the first steps on “the Zen Path to the Mastery of Parenting” is charming, slickly plotted and extremely funny’ Sunday Times

‘A cracking read from start to finish…5*’ News of the World

‘You’ll laugh a lot’ Sun

Praise for ‘William Walker’s First Year of Marriage: A Horror Story’:

‘Matt Rudd’s sparklingly energetic, sometimes laugh-aloud, sometimes touching novel…mixes the accident-prone and amiable prattishness of Lucky Jim and Bridget Jones with a liberal dollop of farce…William turns out to be an innocent searching for the right path.…getting to know him is to enter into the blundering, puzzled hell of the male up against the eternal feminine enigma.’ Sunday Times

‘Writing genius…the hilarious insights into a man’s mind will make you laugh out loud’ Cosmo

‘As far as honest representations of one’s own gender go, there’s got to be something fascinating about a book that provides such insightful glimpses into the male psyche…Brilliant characterisation with more than a whiff of authenticity, a fast-paced narrative and hilarious dialogue will keep you engrossed in William’s various disasters to the end.’ Daily Mail

'Meet the male Bridget Jones. William’s just married and has a view on everything from ex-girlfirends and wives to male best friends and work. But his luck takes a hilarious turn for the worse. Be prepared to LOL on the train. 5 stars’ Company Magazine

‘Hilarious and hugely enjoyable. A frank, funny insight into what men really think about women and marriage.’ Tracy Quan
