An outrageous comic riot, delivered as a tear-inducing funny and pitch-black farce ... For every laugh here, there's a haunting, echoing scream in the distance. The plot is unbridled romp ... It is hard to describe, out of context, quite how funny Coupland's novel can be. * Sunday Times * Worst. Person. Ever. is very much a return to form. It had me laughing out loud on the bus to work. * Irish Times, Books of the Year * There are gloriously unquotable remarks and fantastically lurid images on every page. Gunt's mind is a super-sewer in which it is a pleasure to swim. You can't help giggling, constantly. Worst. Person. Ever. may be a raging bonfire of inanities but it contains some of Coupland's finest writing since Shampoo Planet. * Evening Standard * There are some clever plot twists and fine comedy set pieces. * Scotland on Sunday * A comic riot of a novel. * Sunday Times - Must Reads *
