Recenzii
A screwball treat about two dogs and their owner, set in New York
Hilarious, thoughtful, touching
Surreal, charming and very, very funny
Like Ephron, Rosoff has a lightness of touch, and is also a clever comic writer: her dialogue is sharp, her characters keenly observed and ruthlessly well realised
A loveable novel that has the power to make readers of all ages laugh
Fizzes with memorable one-liners .. . I can't think of many recent novels that show the same almost Joseph Heller-like ability to express abiding pessimism with such irresistible comic zest
Wonderfully romantic as well as brilliantly satirical ... An absolute delight from start to finish
Very smart and extremely funny
An absolute delight ... Set in a New York that has all the charm of a Nora Ephron screenplay
A brilliant take on finding love in New York
Both involving and moving ... Witty, sardonic, thoroughly enjoyable
Brave and bolshy, impossible to predict or to pigeonhole
Brilliantly witty, refreshingly original and laugh-out-loud hilarious, this book really is a must-read
Every sentence is crafted and weighted with beauty but it's the intelligence and shaping sensibility with which the story is told that make it something special
Jonathan Unleashed marks a swerve into novels for grown-ups, but her idiosyncratic story-telling chutzpah remains constant ... This shaggy dog story is told with such vibrant and subversive wit ... Also a brilliantly detailed snapshot of - to tweak the title of one of her finest novels - how we live now
Meg Rosoff has the gift of being able to talk to the reader with a directness that goes like an arrow to the heart.
I completely fell in love with it, its confused but endearing hero, its wit, its portrait of New York and its dogs. It's the kind of romantic comedy, both wise and hilarious, I always hope to find in a movie and never do. I'm sure it's going to be a huge hit, and if it doesn't become a Nora Ephron-style film I'll be amazed. Even as a big fan of Meg's work, it took me by surprise
A wonderful, captivating writer
One must simply revel in the joyful singularity of Rosoff's latest masterpiece
No one writes the way Rosoff does - as if she's thrown away the rules. I love her fizzy honesty, her pluck, her way of untangling emotion through words
The only predictable thing about Meg Rosoff is that each book will be entirely different from the last
Rosoff's writing is luminously beautiful
It is only occasionally that a writer comes along with a voice so stridently pure and direct and funny that you simply can't question it - you tumble willingly into its thrall
A wonderfully original voice
Intelligent, ironic and darkly funny
Genius!
Mordantly funny and searingly well written, her books read like Samuel Beckett on ecstasy
The wonderful Meg Rosoff (How to Live Now) has written her first novel for adults, Jonathan Unleashed, A story of a man whose private life is going to the dogs
A quirky romantic comedy that'll make you smile
This is a sweetly told page-turner. Basically the answer to all of life's conundrums: be more
'Rosoff, much admired YA novelist, turns her elegant comic touch to adult preoccupations with this effervescent satire on modern urban living . His workplace is a comic delight full of self-styled hipsters spouting meaningless jargon . Jonathan's tale may be eccentric but its teeth are sharp'
A quirky, contemporary romance
An exhilarating read that makes abiding pessimism very funny indeed
She wreaks revenge on the industry in her newest novel Jonathan Unleashed, which includes hilarious parodies of management jargon.a delightful romcom for adults, Jonathan Unleashed, about a millennial New Yorker whose life becomes the concern of the two dogs he is looking after, Dante and Sissy
A comic must-read for any teen curious about the adult world they are about to enter
Hugely entertaining. I love this book for its freshness, wit and charm
