Recensione:
"A cranky, curmudgeonly composer is the ostensible protagonist of this hilarious debut novel...[A] diabolical parody-cum-satire." Publishers Weekly
"As thoroughly, unmaliciously wacky as anything since P. G. Wodehouse." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
"Highly entertaining debut . . . Fayrewether and Silber are a perfectly matched pair of pretentious poseurs . . .bursting bubbles of pomposity on every page." Kirkus Reviews
