George
George is a self-absorbed, forgetful philosophy graduate who relies on his good looks and family connections. His long-suffering girlfriend Jenny tries to support him, but many parents feel his immaturity and selfishness are a poor match for her competence. While the writing is praised as wryly comic, George's repeated misadventures and lack of personal growth frustrate some readers. Those who enjoy character-driven dramedies may find George an interesting, if flawed, protagonist, but parents looking for a more uplifting story may be disappointed.

Consider whether you'll find George's self-absorbed behaviour endearing or frustrating before diving in.
