Review:
His masterpiece * Philip Roth * The Fixer deserves to rank alongside the great Jewish-American novels of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth * Independent * A novel of great power, even grandeur * Life * What makes it a great book, above and beyond its glowing goodness, has to do with something else altogether: its necessity * Jonathan Safran Foer * He writes with wisdom, compassion and humour... in the best tradition of Chekhov, Joyce and Hemingway * New York Times * An absorbing, compelling and deeply human tale of freedom, hate and morality, its deceptively simple style and beautifully wrought sentences hold you captive from its opening... If the term wasn't cheapened by constant use, I'd call it a masterpiece... A novel that could change your life * Guardian *
