Chuck Paluhniuk is on outstanding writer, who has never failed, in my eyes, at producing beautiful novels… [Invisible Monsters] never fails to shock as you follow the twists and turns of this revenge filled novel

Maybe our generation has found its Don DeLillo

This is a wild ride of a novel

Palahniuk is one of the freshest, most intriguing voices to appear in a long time. He rearranges Vonnegut's sly humour, DeLillo's mordant social analysis and Pynchon's antic surrealism into a gleaming puzzle palace all his own

a lyrical page-turner

Confident, sharply-written, and refreshingly direct...Tokyo is, of course, a descriptive writer's dream and Lee is not cowed by that culture's omnipresent and exhaustive literary heritage; he instead revels in his character's conflicts...[The] dialogue is playful and well-observed...More experienced authors might milk drug-addled protagonists for all they're worth; Lee's subtlety in this regard speaks volumes of the appeal, depth and maturity of his central character, as well as his writing.

"Assured debut" is a tired old phrase, but it really does sum up this first novel...Satisfying, well-paced, just the right length for the story it's telling, Who Is Mr Satoshi? is a literary novel that also happens to be a highly accessible one...Lee skilfully and inexorably draws us into his story as the clues mount up to Mr Satoshi's identity...Lee's prose manages to maintain...a sparse elegance that does great service to the characters and setting and bodes well for his future.

Lee lays the groundwork for Foss's trip with care...patiently weaving exposition into early events...Lee has a pleasingly straightforward style...spiced with metaphoric flourishes...A promising first novel.

There's an almost dream-like quality to the narrative...An unusual, playful and clever book.

Who is Mr Satoshi? is a clever, gripping and unusual novel that provides a whole host of hugely enjoyable mysteries. It is also a sensitive portrayal of a man brought back from the brink of breakdown. Reminiscent of some of Haruki Murakami's best work, this is a debut to treasure.

Funny and moving
