Wondrous...brilliantly inventive...dazzling. Not simply the most
original novel I've read in years - it's also one of the best
*The Times*
Exceptional by any standards. Both funny and deeply moving
*Sunday Telegraph*
Outstanding. Heartening as well as richly entertaining. A
stunningly good read
*Independent*
Superbly realised. A funny as well as a sad book. Brilliant
*Guardian*
A remarkable book. An impressive achievement and a rewarding
read
*Time Out*
A magical book. It's one of those books that makes you feel as
though you have been on an emotional rollercoaster.
*Carrie Grant, Sunday Express*
Brilliantly empathetic. Believe the hype: a brilliant,
heart-warming book
*Scotsman*
In telling a painful story in the voice of a 15-year-old boy with
Asperger's, Haddon broadens ordinary minds and helps to understand
how they work, too.
*Daily Telegraph*
Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a
superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare
gifts of empathy
*Ian McEwan*
I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and
agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and
memorable. I advise you to buy two copies; you won't want to lend
yours out
*Arthur Golden, author of 'Memoirs of a Geisha'*
