Review
"Religion, sex and mania bursting hoof-footed from suburban doors" (Fay Weldon)
"Not since The Catcher in the Rye has there been such a believable portrayal of male puberty. The quality of story-telling and the cadence of the prose have a piercing authenticity" (Catholic Herald)
"As a technician [Parks] cannot be faulted. His book builds to a terrifying tour de force, made bearable only by the tight prose" (Jeanette Winterson)
"He can write, at will, like a modern Henry James, proceeding with composure through the labyrinth" (Literary Review)
