Mail on Sunday
A political satire cloaked in Fforde's trademark bizarre whimsy, the novel reads like a crazed cross between <i>Watership Down </i>and <i>Nineteen Eighty-Four</i>.
Guardian
Fforde's engaging writing has created a story that is a clever blend of the biting allegorical satire we expect from Orwell's greatest hits and the good-natured adventures of Michael Bond's naïve and kind-hearted Paddington Bear. <i></i>
SciFi Now
Jasper Fforde's most chilling and realistic book yet
Guardian
<i>The Constant Rabbit </i>is designed to shake readers out of that complacency: to recognise that merely holding liberal values is not enough to prevent the quickening advance of racism and xenophobia in this country. <i></i>
Financial Times
It's huge fun too, with all the inventive wordplay, impeccable worldbuilding and fiendish plotting that Fforde's "Constant Readers" have come to expect.<i></i>
SFX
Fuelled by Fforde's trademark wit, imagination and brilliantly bizarre world-building... You won't read anything quite like this in 2020 - or beyond that too.<i></i>
CultureFly

The Times

Independent
Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure
Telegraph
Brilliantly funny . . . His relentless imagination and his affection for his characters are contagious and irresistible
New York Times
True literary comic genius
Sunday Express
Reading a Fforde novel feels like taking off on a magic carpet, only to be picked up by another and another and taken on new flights of fantasy . . . you just sit back and enjoy the ride
Scotsman
Jasper Fforde's entertaining, surprisingly thoughtful yet fleet-footed new book-a standalone novel with a climax so dramatic, irrevocable, perfect yet unpredictable that it seems impossible to extend the book to a series-is the comedic master's foray into this thematic realm. It is, as one might expect, by turns droll and hilarious, poignant and cruel, hopeful and despairing. In other words, a true comedy in depth, a form that is not mere mindless japes and slapstick, but one which counsels us that if we don't laugh, we must cry.
Locus
An astonishingly well-crafted work of social and political satire
Kirkus Reviews
Lovely little satire...wonderfully imaginative and very funny.
