Laura Jane Macbeth, The Independent Weekend Review
«A fascinating study of literary culture, which offers many intriguing tasters of the novels themselves. The bizarre characters and scenarios, and the conscious ironies of some of these "good bad books" leave one curious to read more.»
Clare Griffiths, Times Literary Supplement
