"There is nothing quite like Riddley Walker. The language is extraordinary. The post apocalyptic world created with such power. Sometimes called Sci-Fi, but it is far more than that."
"Wining the Booker prize is sometimes a bit of a poisoned chalice; but this is superb. Understated, but takes you very deep into the world of the characters."
"Hard to live up to the hype - but it does. Wondeful, twisting, turning, interwoven narratives. Formally fascinating - without ever being clever for cleverness' sake."
"Vivid characters and brilliant story telling. Most of the critics call it a Western (whch is where it's set ), but there's more than a hint of Michael Moorcock about this. Great fun."
