"teenagers especially must read this but read it AT LEAST MORE THAN TWICE - the more you read it the more you can see its genius. Salinger is most definitely the King of Dialogue"
"de Bernieres is a most wonderful writer and although this is my favourite of his books, they are all more than worth reading. Not only are they fantastically funny but incredibly well written"
"One of the most influential books I've read. Ludo's search for his father may turn out rather fruitless but the things he learns on the way are funny and inspiring at the same time"
"This is my favourite Pratchett book coz it has LOADS of the character Death in it but you must read all of them - he is by far the funniest, laugh-out-loud authors of our time"
