‘This is vintage Patrick Gale – witty, funny, poignant, and utterly absorbing...This is a book full of forgiveness – and everyday encounters with tigers, transsexuals and sexy, repentant murderers. It's a long hard look at love, sex, violence, and other unconventional family values.’ Patricia Duncker
‘In this very fine novel Patrick Gale proves, yet again, that he is both an exceptionally acute observer of human nature and a storyteller of the first order.’ Barbara Gowdy
‘The book is one of his best: a fluently constructed narrative underpinned by excellent characterisation. Running through it all is the theme of redemption; and the hero's journey from despair to hope makes a stirring odyssey for the reader.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Gale’s energetic novel is a carnival of events in which credible characters find themselves in incredible situations.’ Daily Telegraph
‘A readable, entertaining and occasionally moving yarn.’ The Times
‘Gale is a comic writer along the lines of Tom Sharpe. [He] is at his most insightful in his descriptions of character, both of individuals and of the Frost family as a whole. Tree Surgery for Beginners’ is a comic thriller in which “family tree” takes on new meanings.’ Observer
