'Brilliant set pieces-Intrigue has never been so intriguing - Keenan writes like an uncloseted Coward -Not high-minded satire but - something much rarer - pure-hearted camp.' Voice Literary Supplement 'Urbane wit and high comedy...run like quicksilver through the veins of My Lucky Star... A delightful, feel good, beautifully crafted romp... Laugh out loud funny... It is ingenious, unpredictable and wholly enjoyable' * Independent on Sunday * Comedy of a high order... This is sophisticated, deliciously camp entertainment * The Times * This hilarious tale of naive screenwriter Philip, lured to La-La Land by his amoral pal Gilbert. The manic twists and jibes at modern celebrity culture are a delight. * Scotland on Sunday * Keenan's command of the written word is as deft as the words he puts in other peoples mouths on TV... Ridiculously, almost criminally, funny... In Keenan's world, everyone is either morally corrupt, incredibly stupid or, in Moira's case, pure evil. And we should thank him for it. Because My Lucky Star may just be the funniest novel of the year... Unmissable. * Irish Independent *
