'You won't find a singsong entry in this book that says, 'Magic happens' or 'Climb a tree with a child.' There are no pictures of cuddly animals . . . It's the stuff I wish somebody, anybody, had told me twenty years ago.' No tattoos before you're thirty is a collection of witty, modern truths aimed more towards the realities of everyday life than the value of eating your greens. It's fun, irreverent and crammed with insight into contemporary life. Visit Sam's blog, All Men are Liars at theage.com.au
