—— Malcolm Jones Jr. , NewsweekWolfe is a peerless observer, a fearless satirist, a genius in full
—— Kyle Smith , PeopleA brilliant book - vast, satirical, moving, often profound
—— Justin Cartwright , Independent on SundayWhat razor-sharp brilliance! What sublime satirical wit!... The lives of Wolfe's seemingly unconnected cast of characters, bouncing off the pages as vividly as any of Dickens', become gradually interwoven. Wolfe takes ironic swipes at greed, class, racism from both sides of the fence and financial and political corruption... A what a wonderful way Wolfe has with dialogue and with the barbaric euphemisms of street slang and rap. Sheer genius
—— Val Hennessy , Daily MailNovels of this size... always have flaws and the occasional lull, but Wolfe's fizzy prose and amusingly mean-spirited social observations make up for any other deficiencies. Highly entertaining
—— Irish TimesThere are far too many delicious examples of Wolfe's razor sharp wit and stylish writing. So I'll simply say that if you enjoy a slice of American fiction, then this book will not disappoint. Otherwise, I'll eat my hat. A big, bold, brash, brilliant book, beautifully-written. Highly recommended

—— CandisA moving and disturbing tale of love and loyalty. And you might cry
