Whilst it's wrong to judge a book by its cover, a mere sight of D. J. Connell's second novel ''Sherry Cracker Gets Normal'' is enough to make me smile. The title is amusing; the colourful design enticing and the effusive praise for Connell's debut ''Julian Corkle is a Filthy Liar '' encouraging.
Inside, the delights continue. Sherry Cracker is a young woman working an ordinary office job. She lives alone, having been deserted by her own mother and largely annoys her boss, Mr. Chin, with her strange habits and idiosyncrasies. In her attempt to make more sense of a world that confuses her, she records much of what she sees and experiences in a folder. She thinks she's doing well at life, until one day Mr. Chin gives her £100 and a weekend and tells her she needs to become ''normal''.
