Review:
"Sharp and real" -- Kingsley Amis "Quirky and original" * Sunday Times * "The Picturegoers' appeal derives as much from the quality of the writing as for its absorption in a bygone way of life" * Independent * "An excellent first novel... He has a wonderful eye for the tawdriness of our commercial world" * Times *
