Recensione:

"Marcel Theroux already has his own voice and he can pull off that difficult feat, the comic first novel. . . . Switching between farce and some touching observations about the suburbs and city life, Theroux is a natural storyteller."-Publishing News (London)
"A genuine comic debut . . . the humor does not obliterate a graceful comic style."-The Times (London)
"First impressions of this debut novel are matched by fine traditional skills in writing, wit, and invention."-Daily Mail on Sunday (London)
"A witty satire . . . had me roaring with laughter at 2A.M."-Esquire
