A highly amusing and pretty convincing satire of the newspaper industry * Times Literary Supplement * This is a very clever, subtle novel, that in its quiet way polishes the surface of things so that we see them, for a while, as if for the first time -- Nicholas Lezard * Evening Standard * This is an original first novel, cruel and incisive -- Viv Groskop * Sunday Express * It is a funny and inventive book and Turner manages to fence dazzlingly with stereotypes and sharp home truths while making her mordant observations part of a far bigger picture -- Stuart Kelly * Scotland on Sunday * A fascinating comic creation * Independent *
