Rich and persuasiveGritty, bawdy and funnyDean paints with words as Hogarth did with his brush * The New York Times Book Review *
If the BBC hasnt already optioned this, it should get a move on: Hogarths life, as Dean portrays it, is an educational but sexily pleasurable costume drama waiting to happen * Publishers Weekly *
