Media Reviews
It is a non-stop take, making you laugh, cry and wonder. The characters are excellent and even though you know you that many of the events are genuinely impossible, it feels completely believable thoughout. * * Highland News Group * *
It's a demented modern odyssey of one strange man's quest for truth and knowledge in a decidedly bizarre - and decidedly American - world. * * Sunday Tribune * *
This novel is remarkable for its breadth. Amo is skilfully woven into the fabric of real America, and Dodge's sweeping take on that country, combined with the humanity of each of his vast array of characters, lends this book a particular kind of majesty * * The Observer * *
an irresistible kaleidoscope of manic, tragic and exquisitely funny Americana. * * Time Out * *
Within half an hour of starting this novel, I was absolutely hooked . . . it kept me guessing all the way to the end. * * The Times * *
