Media Reviews
This is the best book about a morally reprehensible ghost giraffe I've ever read. Hilarious, filthy, and insane, Jim Giraffe is relentlessly wonderful. --Dan Rhodes A brilliant, funny, unforgettable book, one that explodes taboos...in a way that's fresh and fearless....It's extremely hard to analyse or describe the magic of this extraordinary work -- The Independent Jim Giraffe is a work from the uppermost echelon of imagination, a twisting, supercharged affront to the mundane; King masterfully juggles all we hold dear before dousing it in napalm and setting it alight in this liberating, free-spirited book -- read it and feel the wind through you hair (then fit a padlock to your wardrobe!). --D.B.C. Pierre, author of Vernon God Little Daren King is a genius and Jim Giraffe is a masterpiece. --Matt Thorne King has one of the most imaginative and unique voices around. -- Esquire
