Brilliantly realised... strikingly relevant... a resounding success * SFX *
Highly entertaining and engrossing... characters that are both complicated and likeable * SciFi Now *
Gripping... a pitch-perfect thriller, a jetpack of a plot that rocketed me from page one to page 400 in a single afternoon -- Cory Doctorow * BoingBoing *
Truly original... a crack-paced thriller... smart and tons of fun * Australian *
Barry's smartest dystopia yet * io9.com *
Sophisticated and laden with subtext... clearly reaffirms Barry's status as a gifted purveyor of suspense * Time Out New York *
Best thing I've read in a long, long time... a masterpiece -- Hugh Howey, bestselling author of Wool

Insanely good. Dark and twisted and sweet and humane all at once. -- Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls and Zoo City
Dazzling and spectacularly inventive. A novel that jams itself sideways into your brain and stays there. -- Mike Carey, author of The Devil You Know
A spellbinding, intelligent read...a freewheeling plot intermeshed with linguistic theory and some genuinely creepy horror set-pieces * Guardian *
