Trade ReviewOne of Coetzee's best...simply burns with creative passion -- D. J. Taylor * Independent *
An important book... Extraordinary * Independent on Sunday *
Probably the best book on the [Booker] longlist, the one that will last... Every word counts. Every sentence lives * Evening Standard *
The best novel I've read this year, a book so bold and so clever that one wants to call it something other than a novel, to take it out of that commonplace genre -- Frank Kermode * Times Literary Supplement *
A readable and engaging book. Demanding, playful, provocative...hugely enlightening and rewarding * Sunday Times *
