Me, My World and I, A Must Read!

Check out this book! Me, My World and I!!!
The best book since 'Pick-Up Lines for Pensioners'
Miss Betty Jones

You just have to buy this book!
Miss Galena Sublime

You have no idea what it's like sitting on a shelf in the poetry section of a bookshop. Have you ever noticed how literature designated as being intellectual is always hidden like some top shelf publication in a sweet shop? I get so lonely down there in all that prehistoric dust. Truth be known, I get picked up less than Betty Jones at number 47 and shes 92!

As you might have gathered, I'm a little different, well some might even say special! I'm not so much a poetry book, more a biography of everyday living. Within my pages you will find the musings and poetry of an 'ordinary' bloke from down your street. This is the life and times of Joe average, a testament to life as you know it and a vote for the real world.

You could say I'm a snapshot of real life written by a real person. If you buy me I promise to sit on your coffee table and pretend to be intellectual, just think how much more sophisticated you will look!

About the Author

Andrew Barber was born in 1969 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. He was educated at Glebe House in Norfolk and the Wisbech Grammar School. He didn't write his first poem, "Britannia Rise" until 2011, but his first collection, Me, My World, and I was published the following year. He works as a system architect and spends a lot of time travelling. He considers himself to be a normal bloke from down the street. And he is enthusiastic about writing poetry that is easy to read and easy to relate to.

Most recent review from Canada!

I picked up Wrong Place Wrong time, because of all the great reviews it had received and I was looking for something different than what I normally read. I do read non-fiction, but never true crime.

I was a little nervous. How much do you believe when a person is trying to declare their innocence? Will it be unbiased?  Will it be worth reading or just pages of self-serving justifications. Mr. Perlmutter is accused of arson and man slaughter while he is on vacation in Spain.

I am happy to say that my fears were unfounded. David Perlmutter gives us his account with an honesty that is almost painful to read. We are shrunk down to a tiny size, so that we can ride around on his shoulder and get to see first hand how so many different events and choices led him down a path to that night that changed his life.

This story sinks its claws into you and doesn't let go until the very last word. The night I started to read it I woke up about 2am  and couldn't go back to sleep until I had seen him to the end of his tale. It was worth being tired in the morning. Never before had I experienced such a visceral response to a "character" in a book. I yelled at him to stop being such an idiot. I wanted to reach  out and give  him advice. I wanted to slap the stubbornness and foolish male pride right out of his head and I  wanted to put my arms around him, to comfort him and let him know it was going to be alright.

David Perlmutter made a lot of stupid mistakes. He was a bit of an arse, he was  a hero, he was sentimental, he was stubborn, he was sweet, he was desperate, he was human. He shows us his bad side and his good side, leaving us free to decide how much he is responsible for what happened to him.

His tale is a  roller coaster ride and you don't want to get off until the end. The twists and turns will leave you breathless.  Buy this book, but start it early in the morning because you won't want to be up all night reading it and you won't want to stop reading until it's done.
