Cracking...one of our finest writers.

One of the best historical novelists writing today.

There are gloriously unquotable remarks and fantastically lurid images on every page. Gunt’s mind is a super-sewer in which it is a pleasure to swim. You can’t help giggling, constantly. Worst. Person. Ever. may be a raging bonfire of inanities but it contains some of Coupland’s finest writing since Shampoo Planet.

There are some clever plot twists and fine comedy set pieces.

A comic riot of a novel.

Worst. Person. Ever. succeeds by virtue of its verbal energy, the brio of its invention, the snappiness with which successive gags and ever more appalling atrocities are piled on.

Coupland has penned a bitterly funny tale of our time and created one of the grossest characters to deliver it.

Worst. Person. Ever., challenges the present-day with excess, satire, and biting critique

In the future, if people are curious about what it was like to live in our times, they will do well to read Douglas Coupland.

Consistently intriguing

Superb... [Ackroyd] makes the familiar deliciously mysterious

In a slender novel, London's great fictional mapper Peter Ackroyd has woven together a rich spread of tales of the city

Ackroyd writes about the capital, from Camden to Chelsea, like no-one else and he captures the sense of the sixties perfectly, with high-society and low-life London so dangerously close to each other. Full of twists and turns, this is Ackroyd's most exciting novel to date

A classic Ackroyd tale that will not fail to please
