Funny, clever ... and a rollicking good read
Independent
An astonishingly assured début, funny and serious . . . I was delighted
Salman Rushdie
The almost preposterous talent was clear from the first pages
Julian Barnes, Guardian
Quirky, sassy and wise . . . a big, splashy, populous production reminiscent of books by Dickens and Salman Rushdie . . . demonstrates both an instinctive storytelling talent and a fully fashioned voice that's street-smart and learned, sassy and philosophical all at the same time
New York Times
Smith writes like an old hand, and, sometimes, like a dream
New Yorker
Outstanding . . . A strikingly clever and funny book with a passion for ideas, for language and for the rich tragic-comedy of life
Sunday Telegraph
Do believe the hype
The Times
Relentlessly funny . . . idiosyncratic, and deeply felt
Guardian
