Guo's humour is bracingly ironic and tinderbox dry

A fast moving, barbed polemic...a sharp little book in which the legacy of the Cultural Revolution shimmers and festers... A writer to read, a writer who makes every word count

A breath of the freshest air imaginable. She cuts through the smog of hype and platitude

Sprightly... the comedy is neatly poised... a damning portrait of totalitarian China

The novel resonates in revelations of loss and pain

draws national intelligence...reality-like fiction

An entertaining read with a distinctive voice - and her most ambitious work yet

I fell in love with it. It was dark and dangerous and incredibly thrilling with tons of action, more intrigue than I knew what to do with, surprises around every corner, and psychological and theological undertones.

The Thirteenth Sacrifice is suspenseful and creepy - I enjoyed it.

A terrific thriller.

The characters are well-rounded and interesting…the imagery beautifully described… I enjoyed The 13th Sacrifice immensely, and will definitely be following the Witch Hunt saga with interest.

For Christmas, I will give to dinner party conversationalists:... Tom Wolfe’s Back to Blood.

What really drives all this is Wolfe’s extraordinary style.

As broad and panoramic as ever.

There are some dazzling satirical riffs and politically incorrect laughs.

Wolfe’s prose is as punchy as ever.

Energetically set against the deco licentiousness of Florida’s steamiest party capital.

Class, family, wealth and corruption are all themes in this examination of life in Miami.

[Tells] us about the way we live now... enjoyable.

Classic Wolfe. A delight

Epic, hectic, satirical… It’s scathing, funny, and has great set-piece scenes

Contemporary Miami gets the Wolfe treatment in a grand, sweeping satire on race, class, lust and immigration
