Independent
Ian McEwan writes stories of exquisite precision and clarity
Evening Standard
As far-fetched and funny as anything by Roald Dahl

Perfectly judged, scary, poignant, meaningful; he makes it look easy, but this is brilliantly achieved
Guardian
These stories are so good, as acute about childhood preoccupations, and at times as disturbing as you would expect
