Product Description

Review
'This is an adorable book: neat, sweet, petite. Your loved one will love you even more for buying it for them. Toby Litt 'Somebody should write Mr Kaufman and thank him for his tender heart ... I expect this story will replace boxes of chocolates and flowers in courting rituals to come.' Sheila Heti 'An addictive, brisk, wonderfully inventive and funny piece of work.' Dogmatika '... may technically be called a love story, but if it is, it is one that is blissfully cliche free. More please.' Pulp.net 'Simply brilliant. A real gem of a book ... this ode to love was built to last.' Ham & High 'A deliciously barbed commentary on our ongoing epidemic of physical and emotional multi-tasking and all its neurotic spinoffs.' The Globe and Mail

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, 9 Feb 2006
I finished this book in one sitting in under an hour and plan to read it many more times.

The book is funny, clever, and even though it's quite surreal you can appreciate every character in it (and probably know someone not unlike them).

This is a heartwarming read without being too soft, probably the best book I've read in the last 6 months, and short enough to read from start to finish when you're just not feeling too great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, witty and very sweet, 7 Jun 2009
By C. Doolan (Leeds UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book as I heard it recommended on the radio and I am very pleased that I did.

It is a very sweet book without being sickly and even though all the characters are superheroes you relate well to all of them. The story of Tom and his wife the Perfectionist is very touching and is broken up with witty mini-stories about other superheroes.

I read it in one sitting and found that as soon as I finished I wanted to read it again. I would lend the book to my friends but I just can't bear to be parted with it. I would like more books from the author as soon as possible!

2.0 out of 5 stars Chesil Beach on Acid, 29 April 2008
A close up view of a love struggle, the principle plot over a short time span with plenty of flash backs - sounds a bit like Chesil Beach, doesn't it? Well that's where the similarity ends. This is like Chesil Beach on LSD. This book is a goofy, zany take on the struggle of a particular relationship.

Every single character bar Tom (the male half of the relationship) is a superhero with a special power. Some of these special powers are hillarious, even if they way they are tied together is a little bit disjointed. At times the writing style is haphazard; at other times it lacks detail and substance. This is disappointing because the originality and zaniness of the book - both of which deserve kudos - are negated by these failings. It's a pity the author didn't get some good feedback from an early draft and then bring what had potential to its potential.
