Recensione:

"George Mann is an exceptional author who kept my interest piqued and never failed to surprise me. I am very eager to read more from him in the near future as I know he is a veritable treasure trove of talent just waiting to be discovered." --Fiction Addict

"Mann knows his characters and the world that they live in and the interaction between the two is sublime. If any of aspects of this book seem like they would appeal to you as a reader, then they probably will. Get to know George Mann and his literary children Newbury and Hobbes, then invite them over for Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate, they will be outstanding guests." --Pop Cults

"If you love great characters, good plotting, twists and turns, and a large story-arc that slowly develops and grabs hold, you really owe it to yourself to give the Newbury and Hobbes novels a read." --Geek Dad

"If you like Sherlock detective stories with a mix oddball witchcraft, steampunk technology, and gun-totting action from the wild Victorian England time period then Newbury and Hobbes are on the case." --Retrenders
