Critics Review
I read the five Patrick Melrose novels in five days. When I finished, I read them again – Ann Patchett

If something has kept you from reading this great novel in five parts, let it keep you no more. – Jonathan Franzen
Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation – Alan Hollinghurst
