A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic
talent
*The Times*
Dunthorne captures the mores of Britain today better than novelists
twice his age
*New Statesman*
Brilliant . . . laugh-out-loud enjoyable. The sharpest, funniest,
rudest account of a troubled teenager's coming-of-age since The
Catcher in the Rye
*Independent*
Transplants The Catcher in the Rye to south Wales . . . Dunthorne
can make you laugh like you did during double physics on a wet
Wednesday afternoon
*Observer*
A richly amusing tale of mock GCSEs, sex, death and challenging
vocabulary . . . Excruciatingly funny incidents and cracking
gags
*Time Out*
Excellent . . . the wonderful, Day-Glo certainties of adolescence
have rarely been so brilliantly laid out
*Independent on Sunday*
