Trade ReviewMagnificently eloquent...A vicious, black-hearted howl of a book... Cripplingly funny * The Times *
Brilliant. It made me ill with laughter. The filthiest, blackest, most shocking, most hilarious debut novel I've read in years * India Knight *
Might well be the best British novel since
Trainspotting * Word Magazine *

cripplingly funny * The Times *
