Review
He really can write, with an exhilerating linguistic fluency and keenly subversive intelligence. * SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY * Hilarous, exhilerating entertainment. * GLASGOW HERALD * Brookmyre offers a brilliantly scathing portrayal of humanity... Sharply satirical and poignantly funny, this is a gripping and highly entertaining read. * TIME OUT * A bit like a literary computer game, this novel has plenty of verve and dash, with Brookmyre more in your face than a smack from an outraged lover whose bottom you've pinched. * IRISH TIMES * He really can write, with an exhilarating linguistic fluency and keenly subversive intelligence * Scotland on Sunday * Hilarious, exhilarating entertainment * Glasgow Herald * Brookmyre offers a brilliantly scathing portrayal of humanity... Sharply satirical and poignantly funny, this is a gripping and highly entertaining read * Time Out * This novel has plenty of verve and dash, with Brookmyre more in your face than a smack from an outraged lover whose bottom you've pinched * Irish Times *
