<p><strong>A foul-mouthed comedy that follows one man's search for the perfect woman.</strong></p><p> </p><p>Marty's living in a Welsh town he hates doing a job he's lost interest in and so bored he can't even be bothered with sex.<br>But a new life beckons in Australia. It's also a chance to get away from his stupid mates the loveable loser John and the ultra-macho Wasp Boy.<br>Maybe he'll even meet an exquisite girl like his <em>Doctor Who</em> heroine Sarah Jane Smith and live happily ever after...</p><p><em>Looking for Sarah Jane Smith</em> - For anyone who suspects life's a bit rubbish.</p><p> </p><p>Part road trip and part celebration of idiotic male friendship <em>Looking for Sarah Jane Smith</em> is sure to strike a chord with those who appreciate <em>Withnail & I Peep Show</em> and Bill Hicks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>...if there's one thing that stands out about this it's how bloody funny it is. I actually packed <em>Looking for Sarah Jane Smith</em> for a long-haul flight and such a page-turner did it prove to be that I finished it within a couple of hours. -<em> Living Abroad Magazine</em></p><p> </p><p>While not in any means a<em> Doctor Who</em> book <em>Looking for Sarah Jane Smith</em> is a good example of how <em>Doctor Who </em>has infiltrated the national psyche as well as portraying how humans relate to fantasy figures... A post-modern laddist cult classic. - Kasterborous (Doctor Who website)</p><p> </p><p>...A bitter crude but funny book... These boys are not particularly likeable but their story is raw honest unsophisticated and rooted in bittersweet reality. - <em>Post Newspapers</em></p><p> </p><p>Franklin's prose combines the earthiness of Irvine Welsh with the biting sarcasm of a young Kingsley Amis as he chronicles the adventures and mishaps of Marty and his two loser mates. - <em>Community Newspaper Group</em></p><p> </p><p>An agreeably raucous and politically incorrect novel that touches on <em>Dr Who</em> and men behaving badly. Its strong language and adult scenes make it the perfect Christmas gift for that younger brother or impressionable nephew. - <em>The West Australian</em></p><p> </p><p> </p>
