Product Description
Synopsis
A little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing. Through parental guidance amounting to a dictatorial father with an unnerving fondness for the Nazis, and a beleaguered, out of touch mother who believes Emily Pankhurst and the Suffragettes are a 60's Motown combo...Joe's choices in life are nothing if not his own. So facing a world fraught with blinding confusion and fearful, unavoidable evolution, where can Joe go but forward? Sex, travel, education, siblings, crime, sex, illness, careers, and sex. It's all his to figure out via an ill balanced blend of ignorance and innocence. Joe's journey is a touching, exploratory novel of growing pains and personalised global positioning told with a firm grip on the handles of humour and relation. A fictionalised biography, "Joe Public" is S. J. Smith's first novel

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Accurate (& Bloomin' funny!!), 13 Jan 2006
By Claire (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
It's not often you stumble across a new writer that draws you in and leaves you gagging for more!! I know people who have always desired to write an autobiography of their non-celebrity, wildly ordinary lives but never put pen to paper... SJ Smith shows, through his hilariously accurate homage to growing up in Manchester, that not only is it possible but it ought to be a legal requirement!
I laughed until I cried, I felt the pains of an ordinary childhood laced with extroadinary, vivid, amusing anecdotes, I called in sick to work, I missed Celebrity Big Brother..... Quite simply I had to drink it all in immediately.
You are blessed that this book has found you.... I carried it around the house until the very last word, but I'll carry it in my heart forever.
