This is the Same Novel as the Book of Joe Just Published Under a Different Title for Different Markets, Dec 24 2006
By James N Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bush Falls (Paperback)
I work at various branches of Gold Coast City Council Libraries and many people request titles of books not realising they've read them before. For some reason publishers change titles for different markets. P.J Tracy's Want to Play is the same book as Monkeerench. Bill Fitzhugh's McJesus is the same novel as both Cross Dressing or Cross + Dress. Yes this book Bush Falls is exaclty the same novel as Jonathan Tropper's The Book of Joe. Under either name this book is a sensational masterpiece so which ever title is cheaper, get that one.
If The Book of Joe (Bush Falls) was a cup of Joe you'd be going straight back for a refill as it is that good. An entertaining light read, the character of Joe Goffman along with the supporting characters are so well written that you just can't stop turning the pages until you reach the last one. Jonathan Tropper's other work although not quite reaching the high masterpiece bench mark this novel sets are also very good.
Joe Goffman hated his small Connecticut town, apart from his final year in high school he had only one friend and not being an athlete had nothing to talk about with his basketball obsessed father. He moved away after high school and struggled as a writer until one day his agent came across a diary sort of story Goffman had written for himself about his backward, one employer, Cougar (basket ball team) worshipping town. He had left nothing out and once published and later made into a blockbuster movie, occupants of his former home town which was now seen as a joke by the rest of the world wanted him dead which was fine with him as he wasn't ever going back. A phone call from his sister in law Cindy one night telling him his father has had a stroke and is in a coma forces him to return and although it has been 17 years the locals have kept their grudge.

You'll "fall" for this book!, Dec 12 2009
By Velocodger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bush Falls (Paperback)
Growing up in small town America never was more interesting than in Tropper's universe. Try it, you'll like it!
