Critics Review
Written with gusto - a daring, quirky tale.
A book which pulls off its strange premise with charm, wit and devil-may-care storytelling. Huge fun to read, sneakily sad in places.

It’s made me feel good about the Not The Booker all over again * Guardian *Exceptional, quirky debut.. the poetically perfect underlying message of the story is found in the often late night (often drug-fuelled) conversations * Press Association *An original and quirky debut * BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH *Written with gusto - a daring, quirky tale. * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
