'Not until you put the book down do you realize how chilling is the image of ourselves in Kosinski's mirror...It will survive as a seminal work' 

'Chance, a fabulous creature of our age'

'Being There is a reverse parable, highly polished and patterned to the last twitch of the nerves'

'A tantalizing knuckle ball of a book delivered with perfectly timed satirical hops and metaphysical flutters'

'Extremely well written. Under the circumstances, I can only urge as many people as possible to rush out and buy it'

Praise for Lisa Jewell

Terrific

The best romantic comedy we've read in ages

Tackles serious issues with humour - proving that chick-lit can be intelligent, interesting and huge fun

A triumph

Top marks. Fantastic

Lovely

Moving and intelligent

Magnetic, unpretentious and bursting with one-liners

Jewell's readability and emotional intelligence make her the cream of pop fiction

Fans of chick-lit will understand when I say that this is a book you simply disappear into
