A firecracker of a novel... A pyrotechnic delight just as dazzling as The Bonfire of the Vanities

Brilliant... Not just a rollicking comedy of campus misbehaviour but a blistering indictment of contemporary standards

Exaggerates and deflates the pretensions of America's future ruling class in hilarious style

These are Wolfe's most memorable characters and this is his best book yet

Exuberant, lovingly crafted grotesquery

Murakami's most addictive fix to date

Engrossing and wildly inventive

Laden with philosophical overtones and enchanting wit

Murakami's exquisitely simple prose and deft evocation of the surreal are captivating and sublime

The mysteries are never tainted by explanation, merely beautifully described, delivering a hypnotic read

'For sheer love of a thumping narrative, the novel delivers gloriously-Inventive, alluring' David Mitchell

'Murakami's most addictive fix to date'

'Engrossing and wildly inventive'

Top marks. Fantastic

Lovely

Moving and intelligent

Magnetic, unpretentious and bursting with one-liners

Fans of chick-lit will understand when I say that this is a book you simply disappear into
