'A fat book but very light on its feet, skipping from anecdote, to rant, to reflection, like a stone skimming across a pond ... it is brilliant' Guardian'If first novels were sandwiches, Steve Toltz's would be a juicy, swaggering doorstop of a sarnie, overflowing with eccentrically combined but delicious ingredients ... Toltz is a superb phrase-maker with an acute eye for humanity's shortfalls' Big Issue'A grand achievement and the debut of a great comic talent ... go away and read it' Sunday Times'Sparkling comic writing...It gives off the unmistakeable whiff of a book that might just contain the secret of life.' Independent'With tinges of magical realism and buckets of misanthropic humour it's a clever and funny debut.' Observer
