very
funny,
desperately
sad
and
real,
and
ultimately,
shocking
An unusual, distinctive novel that informs as well as entertains
A beautiful novel spotted with wondrous sketches
A relentless and darkly humorous internal monologue that links ideas in evolutionary biology and genetics to socialist and capitalist notions of progress
A subtle, understated book, tension, emotion and dark humour bubbling under the surface, with a melancholic air of retrospection
Beyond the agony, Mike Leigh-style, there's deep, dark laughter here
