Media Reviews
FATHER FRANK is a warm, funny, blisteringly good read that has the angels on its side * Tony Parsons *
A dazzling first novel - funny, thoughtful and original * Stephen Fry *
Refreshing * Adele Parks *
A light-hearted comic novel with the feel-good factor of an Ealing comedy, and some cracking one-liners * Greg Eden, Bertrams in The Bookseller *
The only novel I've ever read that tackles the fundamental issues of God, Irishness, advertising, love and cab driving all at once. Fast-moving, witty and highly digestible, it slips down like a fresh Eucharist wafer * Tim Lott *
Original and comedic...very cool, very pithy * Express *
Warm, tender, funny and engaging from start to finish. It's full of sharply-written dialogue, filled with characters you can take to your heart, and driven by a classic will they/won't they narrative * Scotsman *
