Critics Review
“If Raymond Chandler had a deranged sense of humor, if Nick Hornby dabbled in thrillers, if Philip K. Dick were not dead—they might have collaborated on a book as strange and strangely wonderful as Mine All Mine. A rollicking, rocking good read.“—David Benioff, author of The 25th Hour and City of Thieves
“Biting and bitter, but also charming. A svelte page-turner…laugh-out-loud funny.“—Publishers Weekly
