Thrilling in every respect, but also hypnotic, fast-moving and intellectually challenging . . . Quite staggeringly good.
Daily Mail
It entertains us while it reflects with great profundity on the human condition . . . one of the best novelists around.
- Piers Paul Read, Spectator
Nicolson describes it as 'a thriller about the meaning of life' and that's pretty accurate . . . A genuinely thought-provoking read.
Mail on Sunday
Very good . . . Kafka lurks in the background through all this but Nicholson successfully contrives to supplant that author's fatalism with a hard-won optimism concerning how to remain human amid inhumanity.
The Times
A pacy, tense and often funny read.
Daily Telegraph
