Trade Review"
Tremor of Intent has more wit and comic invention than the books which it so boisterously ridicules…The talent is as unsettling as it is prodigious." -- New Republic
"A gleaming novel of ideas…brazenly clever. He is possessed by a black sense of humor…Burgess is nothing if not outrageous." -- Webster Schott - New York Times Book Review
"One of my favorite Burgess books. I think he set out to write a satire of a spy novel but he made the story, the writing, the characters, so good that it became an amusing spy novel." -- Alan Furst
"[The] spy novel to end all spy novels." -- Francis Brown, former editor of the New York Times Book Review
