Media Reviews
Written in his characteristically laconic, snappy style, Glyn Parry's latest young-adult novel is full of the twitchy, restless, hormone-driven angst of adolescence * Melbourne Metropolitan *
the language is raw, but not offensive, and speaks perceptively to the target readership... * Sydney Metropolitan *
...a very funny story with nonstop verbal gags...manages to convey the the brittle insecurities of young adolescents very well * Magpie *
a believable, intimate and up-to-date picture of a range of teenage interactions...Parry knows teenage boys and he's not far from the mark on girls either. This is a novel worth persevering with for those who may find themselves reflected and affirmed in it, those who may learn from its insights and those who may simply enjoy the raw rush and idiomatic poetry of Parry's prose * Adelaide Metropolitan *
a first class read for all teens...a bundle of great one-liners...perfectly paced humour matched with wonderfully rendered descriptions * Perth Metropolitan *
sometimes hilarious, sometimes desperate * Children's Bookseller & Publisher, Australia *
