Review
"Hilarious, fast-moving stuff" (Independent)
"Not since Woody Allen has philosophy had such a hilarious application" (Guardian)
"A fast-paced, off-beat thriller... It's a zany novel with depth and a fresh, almost controversial prose style that gives you the creeping impression that you have just hitched a lift with one hell of an imagination" (List)
"Acerbic, dashingly inventive, very funny indeed" (Christopher Hitchens Mail on Sunday)
"Fischer has a unique ability to hinge the most unlikely concepts together... charcoaling ideas to gem-hardened, irresistibly funny insights" (Time Out)
