The best debut novel I have ever read... sexy, seriously shocking and touched with genius

A bracing debut that sizzles with sexual and racial tension... Brilliant... A terrific book

Completely scabrous and immensely readable

Accomplished... Witty, insightful... Beautifully written

Brilliantly paced, sexy and hilarious... An awesome bebut... I can't wait for his second novel

One of my favourite books of the year...This is going to be huge...I loved it

An enjoyably bumptious coming of age novel

Tolerant, funny and real, [the narrator] ducks and dives hedonistically, lazily, gunning out x-ray observations about masculinity, models and "the magic of miscegenation" that would have had Oscar Wilde licking his lips

Bhupinder 'Puppy' Singh Johal - handsome, rakish and spiritually disenfranchised - has left behind the immigrant neighbourhood of Southall to mix with the elite of metropolitan London society. Sexually ambitious, he is intent on living life to the full, regardless of the consequences. <br/>
<br/>
When sloaney rich-girl Sophie, falls for him, he grabs the chance to escape his past and pursue the woman of his dreams, the voluptuous sophisticate Sarupa, who happens to be engaged to Sophie's cousin. Using whatever and whoever he can, Puppy explores the grit and glamour of a city seething with the possibilities and politics of money, race and sex: an incendiary cocktail that explodes, changing him and those closest to him forever...
