A demonic, darkly comic tale ... satisfyingly peppered with
science, history and amusing footnotes on everything from St Thomas
Aquinas to quantum theory, and will go down well with readers of
Eoin Colfer and Lemony Snicket.
*Daily Telegraph*
Brilliant. I loved every word of it. John has found a voice that
compares favourably with Stephen King and Monty Python which is not
an easy trick.
*Eoin Colfer*
Destined to be another runaway success appealing to both young
adults and their parents alike.
