Media Reviews
?A grimly amusing tale? what makes it enjoyable (and slightly worrying) is that it?s not that far-fetched? Metro London ?The absurdity and petty injustices brought Kingsley Amis to mind? Telegraph ?Like the novels of Magnus Mills and the TV work of Ricky Gervais and the League of Gentlemen crew, this is a work in the emerging school of the new absurd, the British banal ? morally accurate, spiritually depressing and vastly readable? Big Issue in the North
the setting is interesting and relevant, especially with the immigration debate heating up in this country * Daily News *
