Reviews

The Sunday Times
-
"'Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'"
Independent
-
"'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatalogically-minded and J.R.R Tolkein on speed... This total mess of- I suppose- a novel, is the joyous outcome'"
Daily Telegraph
-
"'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre'"
Observer
