O'Farrell has scored a bullseye with this satirical salvo... Taps into Middle England's neuroses with terrific wit * The Herald * O'Farrell is one of the best contemporary satirists in the business and he has middle class pushy mothers down to a tee in this latest toe-curling, hackle-rising chronicle of hyper-parenting... The one-liners are sublime and the comedic situations utterly hilarious. Don't miss this * Daily Record * O'Farrell is a consistently humorous writer with an acute ear for the absurdities of middle class pretension. It's hard to fault his satire on competitive parenting or his conclusions regarding social inequalities * Mail on Sunday * As hilarious as it is spot-on * Mail on Sunday *
