Recensione:

'Profane on its surface, ethical at its core, and always fun . . .'Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

' . . . a talk show host who can hold his own as a literary storyteller . . . [An] impressive debut novel . . .'The Los Angeles Times

'Witty, furiously paced, and frequently hysterical.'People Magazine

' . . . particularly sharp and funny. . . a caustic yet ebullient picaresque that approaches the sacred by way of the profane.'Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

'. . . filled with many surprises . . .'The New York Times

'. . . [A] strange, funny, profane, surreal, and surprisingly moving first novel.'Booklist

'. . . fresh, ribald, incisive, and a fine read.'The Baltimore Sun

'. . . often says more about love and life in one paragraph than some books say in 100 pages. After reading it, you will know Craig Ferguson is not a talk-show host moonlighting as an author it might be the other way around.' Mitch Albom

'An unequivocal whoop of enthusiasm . . . Buy this book. Read it. You'll thank me.' Lawrence Block
