<p><b>'Extremely funny . . . and wise'</b><i> Sunday Times</i></p><p>NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE<br><b><i>__________________________</i></b></p><p><b><i>'Can I explain why I wanted to jump off the top of a tower block?'</i></b></p><p>For disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: he has, in his own words, 'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it all . . . but not, as it happens, alone. Because first single-mum Maureen, then eighteen-year-old Jess and lastly American rock-god JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his idea - but brought their own reasons.</p><p>Yet it's hard to jump when you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated words and some slices if cold pizza later and these four strangers are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough reason to carry on living?</p><p><b>Shortlisted for the 2005 Whitbread Award and the Commonwealth Writers Prize, <i>A Long Way Down is a</i> darkly hilarious and moving novel by bestselling author Nick Hornby. </b><br>__________________________</p><p><b>'Hornby's best yet'</b><i> Literary Review</i></p><p><b>'Impossible to put down'</b> Ruth Rendell, <i>Guardian</i></p><p><b>'Some of the finest writing I've ever had the pleasure of reading' </b>Johnny Depp</p>
