An epoch-making edition...few books published this year will be as worth reading as any one of them

This edition is a wonder

The work of a dazzling imagination

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
