Nicholas Walker

Autobiography of a Short, Fat, Ugly Man Nicholas Walker

This is the second book in the series where Nick embarks on life as an adult. He drops out of Law School and starts work at a posh estate agents where on the very first day he meets the love of his life. Nothing, though, is ever simple for Nick and he has to battle with a mass of obstacles before he and Muriel are finally together: he confronts her husband, her parents and his own parents. He robs a petrol station, a tobacconist and a bank. He finds himself running the roughest pub in Wales with his new wife, then the poshest before they settle down to run their own restaurant in one of the most haunted houses in Britain! He tells of his growing interest in karate and his burgeoning career as a writer as well as his secondary career as an attempted murderer. All this is written in Nick's customary tongue in cheek style, as always he is more interested in the marvelous characters he meets and the humor he can find in every situation rather than in the drama of the events that unfold.
