Diary Of A Grumpy Old Git
If Adrian Mole had grown up to be a grumpy old git who had to cope with failed marriage and a life-sucking job, and worse, whose colleagues actually thought he was a miserable old git, he might be a bit like Dave Cross. Diary of a Grumpy Old Git is the laugh-out-loud diary of Dave Cross, a man who thought he was reasonably cheerful until someone from his office bought him a "Grumpy Old Man" diary for Christmas. Determined to prove them wrong, he resolves to be positive for an entire year. But it's not easy when your wife has run off with an estate agent called Brad and you've got a young, ambitious new boss who is determined to make you actually do some work. Add to this the everyday horrors of public transport, shopping, technology, popular culture and dating, and a sunny outlook is too much to ask. But with his 50th birthday fast approaching, Dave is determined to make his life less shambolic. Fantastically witty and painfully accurate, Diary of a Grumpy Old Git will appeal to anyone, grumpy old git or otherwise.

I saw the title of this book and knew I had to read it. Being the daughter of a grumpy old git, I wanted to see how their minds work.
It was a good quick read but I found it lacked excitement.

I really loved the book. After being disappointed by Diary of a Wimpy Superhero, I wasn't really sure if I should read something by Tim Collins himself or move on. And of all the things I'm glad I went through with in my life reading this is one of them. Tim didn't shy away from using f*ck, sh*t, d*ckhead and many more in this group. And while it's written in the same style as Diary Of A Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries, it has much to bring to the table that they didn't.

This is like reading The Diary of a Wimpy Kid but an adult version of a grumpy middle-aged man instead. It's not too bad and I really like the protagonist's rantings because I feel you about social media lol. That said, what's with the sudden romance ending? Feels like the author started this on a whim and didn't know how to end it.

mildly amusing short read - perhaps 2.5 stars

I found out that I am at least a partial grumpy old git, as I agreed with many of the author's rants. A quick read, made me laugh out loud several times.

Very enjoyable book. Seeing that I am an old git myself was no surprise but realizing that my wife is a Jen was.
