A rewarding novel full of pleasures and surprises. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going, it took me somewhere stranger and deeper than I could have imagined. A rich, heady mix of ideas and thrills.
Charles Yu, author of 'How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe'
In his highly addictive and multi-aceted first novel, Augustus Rose pits an irrepressible and gritty young heroine against a sinister group of fanatics. The Readymade Thief is a kickass debut from start to finish.
Colson Whitehead, author of 'The Underground Railroad'
The Readymade Thief is my favorite kind of book: an improbable one … A novel that's unexpected, uncategorizable, unputdownable.
Robin Sloan, author of 'Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore'
Augustus Rose shows that he has one of the steadiest hands in fiction … Rose has crafted something memorable, crackling with energy, a truly wonderful tale.
Kevin Wilson, author of 'The Family Fang'
The Readymade Thief is smart and strange, full of lovely Duchampian tricks and treats. Augustus Rose has infused his thriller with the true Dada spirit, nothing is quite what it seems. I loved it.
Audrey Niffenegger
Complex on many intellectual levels, drawing heavily on theories of art history and physics, and the mystery is deep and satisfying in both its unpredictability and its culmination. The sheer scope is impressive, as are Rose’s evocative descriptions of underground and abandoned places, reminiscent of David Lynch’s films … Admirably ambitious.
Kirkus
The heroine of Augustus Rose’s strange and wonderful debut, The Readymade Thief is a piece of work ... The book is beautifully written ... embracing not only surrealism but also such disparate topics as designer drugs, alchemy, urban exploration and, of course, cults ... Rose’s story is wildly unpredictable, big-hearted and always fascinating.
Seattle Times
Rich and enchanting.
Vanity Fair
There's something for everyone here – art history, physics, hackers and literary mystery, all wrapped up in a page-turning thriller.
The Pool
Addictive literary puzzle.
Grazia
Complex, twisty and full of suspense.
Daily Mail
A real rollercoaster of a book that did not stop with excitement page after page…thrilling to read and kept me on the edge of my seat.
New Books Magazine
A great story teller who writes in a clean and compelling style. Rose is undoubtedly one to watch.
