Review

"Provender Gleed emerges as some of its author's best work thus far. Its satire strikes vigorously home in the end, and its motivating love story is wonderfully conceived and handled." (Nick Gevers LOCUS )

"Great fun and its delicate construction, reminiscent of all that is traditionally best in those robust and traditional British murder mysteries, Provender Gleed is a real treat for readers. It's a novel with a unique feel and one in which its hugely talented author balances the comedy and the drama perfectly. Highly recommended." (John Berlyne SF REVU )

"Pick up James Lovegrove's latest novel and you can rest assured that you are in the safe hands of a master craftsman. There a few things sweeter than reading a writer who's so absolutely in love with the English language, and Lovegrove is clearly head over heels." (SFX )

"Wordplay that would have The Two Ronnies cheering and groaning in equal measure but which is such fun that you forgive the plot device" (Starburst )

"This is a book about quiet competence - Provender and Isis, his kidnapper's accomplice, are one of the more charming couples in recent fiction because they are both too smart and too able for simple romance. An entirely quieter sort of British SF." (Roz Kaveney TIME OUT )

"The best description of Provender Gleed is an old fashioned romp. More often than not used as faint praise, in this case it encompasses both the pacing of the plot as well as the book's overall readability. Not high literature, it remains extremely enjoyable. Here's hoping this won't be the last we've heard of Messers Gleed and the anagrammatic detectives." (EDGE )

"My favourite book of the year. It's a futuristic satire on the class system, beautifully written. Lovegrove is one of the very best SF writers in the land." (Eric Brown TELEGRAPH AND ARGUS )

"Provender Gleed shows, if more evidence was required, that James Lovegrove is one of the foremost novelists of his generation." (INTERZONE ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars a writer of quality, 2 Nov 2007
By David Martin "David" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
a kind of fairly-tale SF, which works. Mr Lovegrove writes with a sensitive eye to human actions, and his sentences are well thought through. This is character driven science fiction. recommended.
