Trade ReviewTruly original, witty and well-observed... A work of genius * Sunday Telegraph *
A tour de force of comic storytelling -- Roger Sabin * Observer *
Wickedly funny... This book is so good that one can hardly bear to reach the end * Daily Mail *
Hilarious...
Gemma Bovery deliciously exploits Posy Simmonds' talent for observing, in words and in pictures, the absurdities of daily life among the aspiring metropolitan middle class at home and abroad * The Times *
