Recensione:

“Krol is adept at creating suspense while imbuing the story with an unexpected amount of compassion and tenderness.” (Publishers Weekly)

“What an audacious book. I loved it. A 20th century adventure that could only be told in the 21st. Wild, daring, honest, gruesome.” (Daniel Wallace, bestselling author of Big Fish)

“Absurd, frightening, riotously funny, and written with relentless, breakneck velocity.... Utterly surprising and utterly irresistible―a spectacular tour de force.” (Adam Davies, author of The Frog King)

“[Krol’s] writing is sharp.... [He] expertly turns his adventure story into a pointed commentary on the nature of tribal hatred. An unflinching, nightmarish fable with plenty of smarts behind it.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“[Krol is] a mesmerizing storyteller with a taste for grotesque, wildly improbable satire.... [A] clever, gory, suspenseful, and outrageous novel.” (Booklist)

“You won’t be able to put down this gruesome and marvelous novel.... Krol’s writing mixes stark, laconic realism with passages of economical beauty.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
