Recensione
“Sweet and Vicious is funny, cool, surprisingly and wonderfully violent, has great characters, a ridiculously beautiful love story, a perfect ending. Read it.”
--James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces
"Think Bonnie and Clyde as it might have been written by Tom Robbins"
--Publishers Weekly
"Schickler is a rare find... he mixes love, violence, ardor, and humor in this funny and heartbreaking modern-day fable."
--Booklist, starred review
“Schickler ambitiously follows his fantastic 2001 story collection Kissing in Manhattan with a precious fairy-tale version of a bloody pulp novel...Schickler spins sentences in a way that keeps you in your seat.”
--Entertainment Weekly
"SWEET AND VICIOUS is impressive: it has a sharp wit and a sustained edge.... Mr. Schickler pierces straight through the everyday world with his deadpan vision."
--The New York Times
"A fun but thoughtful read for those who appreciate complicated collisions of opposites."
-- People
