A sympathetic foray into mental instability ... Campbell's own experience of breakdown brings an intensity to Sturrock's decline

A serious subject adddressed with compassion, intelligence and sensitivity ... this is an emotionally engaging and thought-provoking book

Extremely absorbing, moving and compassionate portrayal of ordinary human beings exhibiting extraordinary courage in challenging circumstances ... If Campbell writes more novels, I'll certainly read them

Campbell has written a highly sensitive novel ... A moving account of people's suffering and search for help

An extraordinarily open and brave novel about weakness. Or, more accurately, humility ... its power comes from a clearly articulated insight into the darker workings of the human mind and the complex nature of mental health

Riveting ... I'd rate this novel a landslide victory

A brilliant debut novel ... a compelling and unforgettable experience

I loved this book

A moving and compelling story ... authentic and impressive

Wodehouse is so utterly, properly, simply funny

I've recorded all the Jeeves books, and I can tell you this: it's like singing Mozart. The perfection of the phrasing is a physical pleasure. I doubt if any writer in the English language has more perfect music

I constantly find myself drooling with admiration at the sublime way Wodehouse plays with the English language

Quite simply, the master of comic writing at work

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

The greatest comic writer ever

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sublime comic genius

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour

The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare
