The Smiths' Meat Is Murder (Thirty Three and a Third series) Review: " but there's plenty of great Smiths/Morrissey bio's that will go into great detail about ... - Okay, I knew from reading the reviews that this book would offer virtually zero insights into the album "Meat is Murder, " but there's plenty of great Smiths/Morrissey bio's that will go into great detail about the album. What this is, is an extremely entertaining and witty novel about high school life/emotions. We've all been there and this brings it all back. This guy is one terrific writer. I'm waiting for his next novel!! Review: Hard to describe, but a great little book - First off, let's state the obvious: This is not a work of music criticism. If you want to know about what The Smiths were doing when they recorded MIM, who was in the studio when, what Andy Rourke was drinking etc, then you need to look elsewhere. If on the other hand, you want to know (or be reminded of) what it was like to be a teenager when this extraordinary band were at the height of their powers, then this is a darn good place to start. Pernice (and his publishers) claim that this book is a work of fiction. But, like the best fiction, there's a whole lot of truth in here. It's the story of a few months in the life of a Boston based teenager - we never know his name - in 1985, the year MIM came out. And the story is full of humor, sadness, death, bitterness, poignancy, all of that intense adolescent stuff. For such a short book (its only just more than a hundred pages long), there are some incredibly vivid characters, and scenes that I can't get out of my head. Naturally, I read this book while blasting MIM on my headphones. It takes about 2 hours to read. Please, please, if you buy this book, read it like that. The whole experience is like a portal to another time, an era that is probably best forgotten. Thank God The Smiths were there to help me get through it. And thanks to Mr Pernice for bringing it all back. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #218,335 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,724 in Arts & Literature Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (64) | | Dimensions | 4.75 x 0.5 x 6.5 inches | | Edition | Widescreen Version ed. | | ISBN-10 | 082641494X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0826414946 | | Item Weight | 3.99 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | 33 1/3 | | Print length | 110 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2003 | | Publisher | Continuum | ## Images ![The Smiths' Meat Is Murder (Thirty Three and a Third series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810bxRs+rwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " but there's plenty of great Smiths/Morrissey bio's that will go into great detail about ... *by R***E on November 3, 2015* Okay, I knew from reading the reviews that this book would offer virtually zero insights into the album "Meat is Murder, " but there's plenty of great Smiths/Morrissey bio's that will go into great detail about the album.

Well, no, this book is not ABOUT the Smiths, but rather the protagonist's relationship with their music. For anyone who has ever been a teenager and felt alone (so everyone really), and found music as a way to cope, this book will resonate with you. It really is a great read, especially if you turn on Meat is Murder while reading it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Smiths' Meat Is Murder (Thirty Three and a Third series) - Radiohead's OK Computer (Thirty Three and a Third series) - Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures (Thirty Three and a Third series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3864332-the-smiths-meat-is-murder-thirty-three-and-a-third](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3864332-the-smiths-meat-is-murder-thirty-three-and-a-third) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
