Reviews

The literary version of a Coen brothers film crossed with Catcher in the Rye. It's full of dry wit, glaring irony, and exaggerated language, and packed with eclectic characters, emblematic of a world gone to hell * www.bookbag.co.uk * The second novel from P. Robert Smith has as many twists and turns as you'd expect from the man who brought us Up A Tree At Night With A Hedgehog... It's a fun read * Aesthetica * A collage of inexplainable happenings and strange characters... Dream-like... Quirky * www.theskinny.co.uk * [A] gloriously inventive follow-up to Up A Tree in the Park At Night with a Hedgehog...peopled with charming, quirky characters all in search of their own happy endings * www.thebookpeople.co.uk *
