Review:
"The Humans is a laugh-and-cry book. Troubling, thrilling, puzzling, believable and impossible. Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin" (JEANETTE WINTERSON)
"A brilliant exploration of what it is to love, and to be human, The Humans is both heartwarming and hilarious, weird, and utterly wonderful. One of the best books I've read in a very long time" (S J WATSON)
"Utterly wonderful" (MARK BILLINGHAM)
"
"Matt Haig's hilarious novel puts our species on the spot" (Guardian)
"A wonderfully funny, gripping and inventive novel. Like Kurt Vonnegut and Audrey Niffenegger, Haig uses the tropes of science fiction to explore and satirise concepts of free will, love, marriage, logic, immortality and mercy with elegance and poignancy" (The Times)
"Extraordinary" (The Independent)
"Excellent . . . very human and touching indeed" (PATRICK NESS)
"Astute, drolly hilarious and occasionally beautiful, full of poignant and painful insight into what it is to be human" (Jay Richardson The List)
"Haig strikes exactly the right tone of bemusement, discovery, and wonder in creating what is ultimately a sweet-spirited celebration of humanity and the trials and triumphs of being human. The result is a thought-provoking, compulsively readable delight" (Booklist)

The Humans is tremendous; a kind of Curious Incident meets The Man Who Fell to Earth.
It's funny, touching and written in a highly appealing voice
