Pressezitat
'An acerbically funny thought experiment... A contrarian on the page as well as in real life, Shriver is on fine form here, messing with her character's lives while asking the big questions about mortality with a rigorous lack of sentimentality' The Times books of the year 'There's something bracing about reading a novelist so admirably heartless, watching her pull the legs off her characters again and again... I think Shriver's novels are wonderful... fun, smart and, perhaps because of their author's unconventional political views, unlike anything else you'll read' Financial Times
'A work of undeniable moral seriousness, yet one that's never just a series of (admittedly juicy) discussion points. Even the most fantastical outcomes are envisaged with exhilarating thoroughness - while Cyril and Kay remain the same richly conceived characters throughout. Despite the grimness of the premise, the book also offers the stirring sight of a writer clearly enjoying herself' The Times
'It's hideous - but also hilarious. Through the potent spell of Shriver's language, horror gets alchemised into amusement. Fiery phrases spit and crackle. Disgust expands and bursts into belly laughs... a very funny book' Sunday Times
'After a (pun intended) deathly start, Shriver's typically provocative novel manages to be both entertaining and poignant, with the novelist even poking fun at herself as she questions what makes a good innings. It might (almost) be a beach read' Daily Mail
'Shriver uses a 'parallel universe' structure to explore various outcomes - and somehow makes conversations about death feel far from taboo' Sunday Telegraph
'Some books become so popular that the lucky author can thereafter churn out any old cobblers, confident in the knowledge that it will be published and find an audience. Lionel Shriver never took that easy route' Irish Independent
