Değerlendirmeler

‘No one has written a book like Cuckooland. Serious… but it is also at times very funny'
SUNDAY TIMES
‘Savagely funny… Amersi’s obscenity-laden threats against Burgis sparkle through the buoyant prose of Cuckooland. Burgis has somehow managed to make this meticulously researched, sordid tale entertaining. Written as a pacy thriller that communicates the deluded, self-important tone of its subjects, he renders Amersi as both menacing and ridiculous: preening, thin-skinned, panicky'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'The world Burgis reveals is a complex and murky one. To write about this world is to be watched, is to be researched, to be threatened by shockingly expensive lawyers'
GUARDIAN
‘Burgis is one of our finest investigative journalists, a muck-raker who can also turn a caustic phrase… Taken together, his books are chapters in a sustained, convincing story about the ways extreme wealth reshapes the nation'
NEW STATESMAN
'An amazing book… a very beautifully written account of how money works within that [Tory] party'
RORY STEWART, THE REST IS POLITICS
‘Written as a true-life thriller, Cuckooland reveals a secret world of access and influence, where inconvenient facts can be white-washed if you have the right connections and resources… A vital book for this election year’
ANNE APPLEBAUM
‘I read it in one sitting – and couldn’t put it down. Astonishing’
PETER FRANKOPAN
'Cuckooland exposes one of the very gravest dangers of our era: the way the rich and powerful try to suppress the truth and rewrite objective reality. In this lively, scathing account… fearless'
