"For style and wit, it is head and shoulders above most teen fiction published this year" -- Amanda Craig * The Times *
"I loved, loved, loved this book. It's vivid, it's anarchic, it's unbearably cool . . . It's also very, very funny. There were moments when I had to put it down because I was howling with laughter . . . And if so much hilarity weren't enough, it's also very clever" -- Jill Murphy * thebookbag.co.uk *
"A book to get teenage boys reading for the hell of it . . . A dark and funny book" -- Phil Hogan * Observer *
"Definitely the funniest, most obscenely wise book I have read in a long time" -- Theo Temple, Booktrust Teenage Prize judge * The Times *
"Every writer hates to hear the words "stunning new talent" applied to someone else, but in the case of Anthony McGowan nothing else will do" -- Meg Rosoff
