As much a novel of pitch-perfect comic vignettes of working life, Personal Days is the ideal book to read under the table during the next staff training seminar. Park has strayed into Ricky Gervais' territory and may soon be its king

The funniest novel of office life in decades... A must-read

Anyone missing Joshua Ferris' Then We Came To The End should pick up this novel

Park's wry look at lives ruled by unreliable computers and bad coffee speaks volumes about the choices we make in the name of ambition

Personal Days is amusingly spare, yet soon becomes something darker, aspiring perhaps to the unblinking horror of Joseph Heller's corporate schlub epic Something Happened

I laughed until they put me in a mental hospital. But Personal Days is so much more than satire. Underneath Park's masterly portrait of wasted workaday lives is a pulsating heart, and an odd, buoyant hope

The narrative, a DeLillo-like, pellet - sized series of vignettes, rings true in its evocation of the paranoid weirdness of office life

A comic and creepy debut novel...Park transforms the banal into the eerie

sketches so expertly; if you like this genre, he gets the tone just right

Park's eye for the minutiae of office life is sharp... This is as funny as Seinfeld

Chilling, compulsive, and hilarious

Wodehouse was quite simply the Bee's Knees. And then some

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
