'Witty and seductive, sexy and funny, with just a hint of the surreal, The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine is a book that I can see appealing to many readers new to her work...A riotous romp through the imagination of one of Australia's most accomplished sex writers.' * Books & Publishing * 'Kneen's outrageous erotic imagination fuels Holly's sexcapades but at its molten X-rated core, this explicit novel is a celebration of the lust for literature as much as for physical debauchery.' * Booktopia Buzz * 'In mapping out Holly's sex machine, Kneen has also mapped out a vivid heroine's journey: a very sexy sci-fi-erotica hybrid with an inspired, Cronenbergian premise.' * Readings * 'Kneen once again shows her mastery.' * Daily Telegraph * 'A joyful and ambitious mix of science fiction, coming-of-age, adventure story, literary fiction and, of course, erotica. It revels unselfconsciously in bringing these different elements together and is always playful and quirky.' * Australian * 'The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine isn't easy to classify...Like a love-child of Barbarella and the Brave New World, it's a refreshingly confrontational mix of sci-fi surrealism, sexual stirring and erotic honesty.' * Stuff NZ * 'Nobody writes sex like Kneen...her finest book to date.' * QWeekend * 'Krissy Kneen writes about sex with nipple-stiffening zest. Her latest is consistently lewd and amusing.' * Brisbane Times * 'It's a rare book that seems to drift like smoke away from the printed page to rewrite the physical world...[Kneen] wants us to strip naked and be transformed.' * Melbourne Review of Books * 'A remarkably pleasing read. The conclusion is wildly imaginative and surprisingly satisfying...Kneen encourages the reader to delight in sexuality that is by turns innocent, gleeful, and cheerfully obscene.' * STARRED Review, Publishers Weekly * 'A hilarious joyride that nods to a wide array of erotic literature.' * Book Riot *
