Terrific invention, magic, jokes and an excellent narrative style * Daily Telegraph * Adopts a relentless narrative pace. There's only one tempo permitted - fast-forward . . . Wonderful read-aloud material * TES * A breezy combination of wild charicature, computer-savvy contemporary sensibility and lavatorial jokes that should appeal to nine to twelve year olds * The Sunday Times * A wildly entertaining, over-the-top, exuberant brew of domestic upheaval, Strega-Borgia style.
