ABOUT VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
A MOVIE LOVER'S FEAST THAT SPIRALS IN AND OUT OF CONTROL…
Adam Robinson gives his life 2 stars. On paper it should be a box-office hit, but it hasn’t lived up to the hype. He wants to recast the whole thing, starting with himself.
Heading back to Sydney after an eventful business trip, Adam discovers an app that allows him to enter the world of his favourite films. No longer typecast as ‘married man, father of two’, he can be whoever he wants.
From playing action heroes, to rom-com leading men, it’s a dizzying ride and the greatest experience of his life. Until he tries to log out...
With fast-talking narration and pop-culture obsession, Viewer Discretion Advised is a genre-hopping adventure rom-com, reminiscent of great modern classics like High Fidelity and Ready Player One.
'Wry, disarming, and ruefully told, Viewer Discretion Advised is a novel of considerable charm and warmth. More than a Gen X nostalgia trip, this is a journey into the heart and mind of a middle-aged Everyman – a story that moves from wit to hard-won wisdom without missing a beat.' Geordie Williamson, Chief Literary Critic of The Australian.
