Critics Review

A fearless romp with big laughs along the way

An uproariously funny novel… John Boyne skilfully skewers the cruelties of social media and the absurdities of wokeness … a brave and timely foray into the contemporary culture wars. * Financial Times *A fearless romp with big laughs along the way * Graham Norton *A comedy of manners and lack of manners … good fun and cheeky as hell * Ryan Tubridy *His relish is infectious * The Times *

Funny, rumbustious, unstinting and wonderfully Hogarthian

* The Observer *A blisteringly funny and razor sharp satire about social media, celebrity and political correctness. I laughed SO much * Hannah Beckerman *Sharp, funny, and beautifully written, but it’s also a brilliant reflection on the landscape we now live in * Sunday Times bestselling author, Joanna Cannon *Great rollicking story-telling … a terrific novel for our times. * Reader’s Digest *

‘Hugely enjoyable’

* Good Housekeeping *John Boyne is at his wicked best… Excruciatingly funny * Saga *
