Wonderful...one comes out aware of universal human feelings that have nothing to do with time.

The is Stegner's The Sound and the Fury. Like the Faulkner novel, Recapitulation is a book about time and its multiplicity of meanings in human experience, about the history of a family in its decline...

In Flight's slick plot and its testosterone-fuelled characters, Thorpe has found a fresh way of looking at corruption and betrayal, and the sticky web that is flung across the world, connecting drug and arms dealers, and all shades of mortals in between

A zingy page-turner

This book is so much better written than most thrillers that it's almost ridiculous

A gripping thriller from its first sentence…. Thorpe is a craftsman as well as an artist, and the book is well put together, with respect for the genre. Like William Boyd, Thorpe is a thorough professional. Thorpe convincingly portrays a world in which the means of communication have shrunk the world and made privacy hard to secure

Flight blends an unlikely cocktail of genres with great success – think 007 as a middle-aged dad you’re halfway there

Keeps things fizzing along

An excellently plotted book boosted by some fine writing

Thorpe’s skill is with sharply observed characters… Taut and compelling

A well-written and exciting Boy’s Own tale for adults

Don Tillman is one of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time

Genuinely funny; you'll laugh out loud

I absolutely loved The Rosie Project -- original and clever, and perfectly written.The world is going to fall in love with Don and Rosie

A poignant, funny novel about how you don't find love; it finds you

Don Tillman will exasperate, delight and immerse you in a world so original, in a story so compelling, I defy you not to read through the night. Glorious

A very funny and touching love story

Adorable . . . Really funny and heart-warming, a gem of a book

If you like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time you'll love The Rosie Project

Written in a superbly pitch-perfect voice, The Rosie Project had me cheering for Don on every page. I'm madly in love with this book! Trust me, you will be, too

The best, most honestly told love story I've read in a long time

Marvellous. Don Tillman is as awkward and confusing a narrator as he is lovable and charming
