Review
‘Descriptive writing of a high order . . . this is an extremely intelligent book’ -- The Times
‘It is a book one reads in a rush, always looking forward to the next perverse paragraph, wise insight or felicitous phrase’ -- Canberra Times
‘Life or death stuff, but Adams fails completely in the self-righteous-piety department. Instead he invites us to enter a conspiracy of laughter and caring’ -- Los Angeles Times
‘Lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written and funny . . . ranks with the best set pieces in Mark Twain’ -- Atlantic Monthly
‘The best in Adams’s writing . . . constantly springing on the reader the kind of dizzying shift in perspective that was the stock in trade of Hitchhiker’ -- Listener
