"Quintessential Moore: precise, compressed, intimately rhythmic, mesmerizingly smart." - Leah Hager Cohen, "The Globe and Mail"
"Outsanding . . . Surprising and superb . . . A literary adventure story . . . Gripping, detailed, and wholly convincing . . . A supremely human book . . . combining the complexity of the best literary fiction with the page-turning compulsive readability of a thriller."--"National Post"
"In the creation of David Slaney, Lisa Moore brings us an unforgettable character, embodying the exuberance and energy of misspent youth. "Caught" is a propulsive and harrowing read."--Patrick deWitt, author of" The Sisters Brothers"
"Exhilarating... a memorably oddball and alluring novel that's simultaneously breezy, taut, funny, and insightful." --"The Vancouver Sun"
"A pleasure to read... Moore's mastery of language and image...sets her apart." -"Quill and Quire"
"Witty, retrospective, eloquent and exciting."--"Chatelaine"
PRAISE FOR CAUGHT
"Propulsive, adrenalin-drenched...[infused with] searingly fresh language and sharply drawn characters... This foray into so-called genre fiction by an exemplar of so-called literary fiction sacrifices nothing in terms of style." --Leah Hager Cohen, "The Globe and Mail"

PRAISE FOR CAUGHT
"Moore combines the propulsive storytelling of a beach-book thriller with the skilled use of language and penetrating insights of literary fiction. She pulls it off seamlessly, creating a vivid, compulsively readable tale that will have you searching out the Newfoundlander's previous works--including 2005's Giller Prize- nominated Alligator and 2010's February, which won the "Canada Reads" competition--if you aren't already familiar with them."--"Penthouse"
