A comedy of horrors, a pantomimic romp through America's obsession with secrets and confessions

Maybe our generation has found its Don DeLillo

Immensely entertaining...an extremly funny account of an outsider stuck inside America

Survivor comes bowling forth out of the same dark corner of the mind as Fight Club... Like its predecessor, it is a terminal novel, a novel that applies the firing-squad principle to extort tortured eloquence from its doomed narrator

Brilliant satire and savagely funny, Survivor offers much to admire. Palahniuk displays a swiftian gift for satire, as well as a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences that loom with stark, prickly prose and repetitive rhythms

One of the most gripping and touching stories I have ever read

This is a gem

Stands out from the mass of chick-fic like a poppy in a cornfield . . . Glitters with insight

Praise for Lisa Jewell

Addictively readable

Terrific

A joy . . . a fun summer read

Tackles serious issues with humour - proving that chick-lit can be intelligent, interesting and huge fun

A triumph

Top marks. Fantastic

Moving and intelligent

Magnetic, unpretentious and bursting with one-liners

Jewell's readability and emotional intelligence make her the cream of pop fiction

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