Levison is a sly storyteller . . . by turns funny, sad, and insightful. -- Booklist <br><br> Plenty of humor in [Levison's] gruff caper, but he punctuates the laughs with just the right hint of sadness. . . . A lean crime story and a stark alternative to glossier capers. -- Kirkus Reviews <br><br>Praise for Iain Levison: <br><br> Levison is the real deal . . . bracing, hilarious, and dead on. -- The New York Times Book Review <br><br> There is a naked, pitiless power in his work. -- USA Today <br><br> Mr. Levison writes tight, punchy prose, with deadpan humor and a mixture of savvy about and sympathy for his fellow working stiffs. -- The Wall Street Journal <br><br> Exciting, funny, poignant and sociologically important. -- Chicago Tribune <br><br> An amusingly bleak little (im)moral fable. . . . A gleeful satire. -- Detroit Free Press <br><br> Loaded with hilarious deadpan humor. -- Dallas Morning News
