Critics Review
-
A copy should be given out with every bus pass.
The Times
-
A brilliant novel. It is sadly comic and comically sad
Anthony Burgess
-
He was a genuine comic writer, probably the best after P. G. Wodehouse ... He had a lasting influence and was a very good novelist
John Mortimer
-
A bloody funny lovely bloody book... A genius at full throttle
