Media Reviews
Manages to be tough-hearted and tender-minded, but also drop-dead funny. * * The Times * *
Menacing, witty, with snappy no-nonsense dialogue and an unambiguously shocking ending . . . Every bit as fresh as its title. * * Guardian * *
His language - especially the dialogue - is exact, brimming with life and never strained . . . The result is a novel whose edgy energy carries you forward . . . a hugely entertaining, sometimes disturbing, fiction debut. * * The Scotsman * *
Surprising and inventive and new. As a writer he seems quite unafraid, discovering truths and telling stories where he finds them without the need to lecture you. His language is precise and funny and alive. -- Andrew O'Hagan
