“Spirited… Boyle remains a vibrant stylist, with fondness for his complex characters and a knack for zany details… Equal parts entertaining and anxiety inducing, this dazzles.”
― Publishers Weekly
“Boyle, long a fervent proselytizer for environmental and animal rights, strikes the perfect satirical note to illustrate the nonchalance and obliviousness many otherwise intelligent people display…. Boyle’s genius lies in his ability to blend the horrific and the humorous, to slowly ratchet up the tension while crafting a gripping yet eerie narrative that forecasts a disaster of our own making.” ― Booklist, starred review |
