'No summaries can do justice to the sheer inventiveness, wit, complexity, erudition, unexpectedness and originality of the works, nor to their vast repertoire of intricate wordplay and puns' * <i>The Times</i> * 'Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted . . . and are embellished with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett' * <i>Independent</i> * A brilliantly written book- full of witticisms, wordplay and puns * <i>News Of The World</i> * There are distinct shades of Orwell's 1984 * <i>Daily Express</i> * Full of colourful characters and amusingly bizarre plot twists. . . SHADES OF GREY is a clever and enjoyable read * <i>SFX Magazine</i> * SHADES OF GREY has something of a flavour of Terry Gilliam's Brazil. . .but the novel is much gentler than Gilliam's savage madcappery, and Fforde's world is more old-fashioned public school than bureaucratic nightmare * <i>Guardian</i> * 'Fans of the late Douglas Adams or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' * <i>Herald</i> * This colour-coded world of black-and-white regulations and heirachies is created with spry invention and wit * <i>Daily Mail</i> * Full of brilliantly inventive wordplay and quirky fabrications * <i>Mail on Sunday</i> *
