A loveable novel that has the power to make readers of all ages laugh * The Times *
Fizzes with memorable one-liners .. . I can't think of many recent novels that show the same almost Joseph Heller-like ability to express abiding pessimism with such irresistible comic zest * Daily Telegraph *

Jonathan Unleashed marks a swerve into novels for grown-ups, but her idiosyncratic story-telling chutzpah remains constant ... This shaggy dog story is told with such vibrant and subversive wit ... Also a brilliantly detailed snapshot of - to tweak the title of one of her finest novels - how we live now -- Benjamin Evans * Independent on Sunday *
Meg Rosoff has the gift of being able to talk to the reader with a directness that goes like an arrow to the heart. * The Times *
I completely fell in love with it, its confused but endearing hero, its wit, its portrait of New York and its dogs. It's the kind of romantic comedy, both wise and hilarious, I always hope to find in a movie and never do. I'm sure it's going to be a huge hit, and if it doesn't become a Nora Ephron-style film I'll be amazed. Even as a big fan of Meg's work, it took me by surprise -- Amanda Craig
A wonderful, captivating writer * Daily Telegraph *
One must simply revel in the joyful singularity of Rosoff's latest masterpiece * Guardian *
No one writes the way Rosoff does - as if she's thrown away the rules. I love her fizzy honesty, her pluck, her way of untangling emotion through words * Daily Telegraph *
The only predictable thing about Meg Rosoff is that each book will be entirely different from the last * Daily Mail *
Rosoff's writing is luminously beautiful * Financial Times *
It is only occasionally that a writer comes along with a voice so stridently pure and direct and funny that you simply can't question it - you tumble willingly into its thrall -- Julie Myerson * Guardian *
A wonderfully original voice * New Statesman *
Intelligent, ironic and darkly funny * Time Out *
Genius! -- Anthony Horowitz
Mordantly funny and searingly well written, her books read like Samuel Beckett on ecstasy * The Times *
