Scotland on Sunday
A huge, comic novel... A shimmering, shifting discourse... mythological but also cheerfully disenchanted; political and playful; cartoonish but also epical... the African novel may well have delivered its greatest masterpiece
Sunday Herald
Epic....daring satire
Sunday Times
Fantastic
Truly exciting... the author is a master of farce
