'Told with great skill and style.. with a hip cynical, clever attitude that keeps you flipping the pages'
Review
'This book is packed with guts, glamour, eye-popping humour, and turn after ironic turn. My question, where can I get more of this guy's books?' Dan Aykroyd 'Wittenborn says things about passion, ambition, and fame that most people are afraid to think ... an altogether original and sagacious work' Rolling Stone 'Told with great skill and style ... with a hip, cynical, clever attitude that keeps you flipping the pages' Los Angeles Times 'A phenomenon ... astonishingly wild, exciting and sexy ... Wittenborn's writing is vibrant ... much too marvellous to put down. Read it!' Philadelphia Inquirer

Wittenborn's 'Fierce People' has to be one of my top ten favourite books, but unfortunately for me 'Zoe' fails. The narrator doesn't really engage with the story enough; like Finn in 'Fierce People' he is an observer, but instead of getting sucked in he is simply, in the end, left out of the plot. The world of fashion and modelling is not made gripping enough to hang a story on, either.
I wanted to like this so much, but found it flat and ordinary. If you liked 'Fierce People', try this but don't expect to be blown away.

Having read Pharmakon and Fierce People I was looking forward to reading this and it is a great book, I highly recommend it.
