Recensione:
'Far from joining the ranks of Post-Modern literary tricksters chasing a new definition of authorship, William Rhode has written a rollicking Anglo-Indian thriller with a twist ... Think Kipling's Plain Tales told by a 21st Century PG Wodehouse'
THE TIMES
'This crazy tale of drugs, dreams and a Viagra overdose that the literary in-crowd are calling this year's answer to The Beach'
MARIE CLAIRE (hot stuff)
'A fresh spin on the Generation - X story'
EVE
'Should appeal to fans of The Beach'
GLAMOUR
'Rhode has skilfully put together a good novel that has the intelligence of a classic without losing the contemporary cutting edge ... Few Events are more thrilling than finding a novel that takes story-telling in a new direction. The witty, provocative and ultimately wise Paperback Raita from William Rhode is a novel a new generation has been waiting for'
ASIAN TIMES
'A fast, furious, colourful debut'
BOOKSELLER
'a confident, energetically written, cheekily ironic
and mordantly funny companion to stuff into the backpack'
DAILY MAIL
'A devious thriller... entertaining'
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
'Whacky'
SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

side of the country'
NEW WOMAN
'A heavy dose of backpacking lad lit from
a young British writer'
MIRROR
'Like a spicy Pot Noodle - tasty, seductive'
TNT
'Fantastical, provocative and world-wise jape'
