Review:
Kuhn's writing is cartoonishly violent, adolescently cynical - and enormous fun * Morning Star * Smart, original * The Sun * On highly original, entertaining movie of a book. Sometimes funny, often gripping and always keeping you on your toes, Kill Your Boss is up there with the better of the year's books * Weekend Sport * A thrilling, jet-black comedy that crackles with action... sleek, quirky and enjoyable * Sunday Mirror * Kill Your Boss has "cult classic" written all over it... fast-moving, twisty, ultraviolent... revelling in its own lack of pretension and sheer entertainment value * Glasgow Herald * Set to be the book of the summer * Company * A serious guilty pleasure. (Well, semi-serious and semi-guilty, but definitely a pleasure.) * Seattle Times * All of the testosterone-bloated wisdom of Tucker Max mixed w/the satire of American Psycho. * Entertainment Weekly * Black humor and surprise twists distinguish Kuhn's highly entertaining debut, which puts a fresh spin on the theme of the hardened criminal planning one last job. * Publishers Weekly * Believable dialogue, a whip smart and cynical central character, clever reversals and an entertaining amount of bone-crunching violence help wrap up this nasty package with a pretty little bow. An entertaining, ferociously violent romp about a morally bankrupt killer trying to find his way home. * Kirkus * Dark, but brilliantly written * Marie Claire * An immersive literary experience * Vogue *
