Recensione:
"An extraordinary book" (Shimon Peres)
"A masterpiece of a rich and lush linguistic tapestry...The strong effect of Hilu's writing does not derive only from his new look at events of the past, but also and mainly from the way in which he compels us to think anew about today's political reality and its bleak future. .. an important, great book, and I assume it will be much discussed in the future" (Haaretz Book Review)
"The most attractive young author around. The reviews danced in praise of him; in literary circles Hilu was marked as the next great hope; David Grossman called to offer his compliments. Now, with his new novel, The House of Rajani, Hilu is again taking the reader to raft in a raging river" (Yedioth Ahronot)
"The House of Rajani is a surprising and excellent novel, positioning Alon Hilu in a good stand within the first rank of the important Israeli literature" (Ynet)
"The House of Rajani should be read like a funny fairytale, told by an adroit storyteller. The wings of Hilu's imagination are wide and spectacular" (Time Out Tel Aviv)
