Pressezitat
'He's a funny writer, John Niven. Not funny peculiar: funny ha ha. Properly funny, in a scabrous and scatological sort of way, and in his latest book he doesn't disappoint. It's a big, comic tableau, painted in bright, broad shades with plenty of splatter marks ... Niven makes sentences beautifully - which, in whatever genre you are writing, is what matters most - and this novel clips along as enjoyably as all his others ... There are two John Nivens in this novel. One provides the broad farce ... But the other supplies something that's closer to Nick Hornby territory ... Niven is particularly good on how easy it is to resent our friends, how charity can be covertly aggressive, and how psychological power dynamics don't really shift from our teenage years ... There's a poignancy here ... Always worth reading. He's a writer - or two - who still has a lot more in the tank.' Sam Leith Guardian
