The story plunges forward with irresistible narrative drive toward the climactic battle scene. Even readers drawn to the series for its deftly drawn characters and setting may find themselves caught up in the action. A fine entry in the increasingly popular Ranger’s Apprentice series.

Fans of the series will eagerly devour this one and wait impatiently for the next . . . A sure bet for fantasy fans.

Flanagan expertly juggles the overall plot line . . . with a logically constructed campaign that culminates in a hard, suspenseful battle.

Susan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned with

Done excellently, with professionalism and panache

Beautifully written

Susan Hill is a wonderful writer... Mrs de Winter is magnificently atmospheric, with everything kept on the brink of the occult - revenants, haunted houses, gothic storms... Mrs de Winter doesn't only live up to Rebecca, in terms of strangeness and spooky lyricism Hill surpasses it

Wodicka is assured and original, and his wry and subtle prose is a pleasure throughout. Burt is a pathetic, frustrating and sympathetic creation, heartbroken and heartbreaking as he struggles to pull himself together for his children.

Wodicka is original and writes an efficient, precise prose

A wonderfully memorable protagonist... and an arresting narrative that manages to combine both tragedy and hilarity

Funny... accomplished

Boy is it fun to read All Shall Be Well...Traveling through Eastern Europe with Burt Hecker, aka Eckbert Attquiet, medieval re-enactor and mead-addled father, is a little like heading south with Charles Portis' Ray Midge or being holed up in the campgrounds with Nabokov's Charles Kinbote - uproarious, wholly odd, wonderfully rendered

An astonishing, beautiful book. It's comic and compassionate, assured in tone and richly poetic. Best of all, it's so original, unfolding in brilliantly unexpected and entertaining ways. Easily among the very best novels - never mind debuts - that I've read in years.

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
