Reviews
"a perfect mix of humor and intelligence akin to the best of British writers" - The Truth About Books
"I loved reading this book and had a smile on my face from the first page. The characters come to life on the page and readers will be hooked until the very end" - OnlineBookClub.org
(Audiobook: ) "Laugh-out-loud sound effects of a hilarious public address system and haunting robotic voices are zany additions to this Terry Pratchett-like concoction. Roberts is outstanding with an array of accents, goofy wordplay, and dramatic pronunciations of words" - AudioFile Magazine
