Last Action Zero

If you've ever wasted months of your life to video games, worked a catalogue of crap jobs and messed it up with the 'one', the novel Last Action Zero will show you how it's really done. The protagonist is Christopher Lawrence, a hapless student whose only concern in life is winning the heart of the beautiful Natasha Saunders - a girl barely aware of his existence. With only a roster of degenerate friends for company, our Last Action Zero discovers that love, and the truth, often hurt.
