Review
'An excellent idea' (THE SUNDAY TIMES )

'Rush to your bookshop' (MAIL ON SUNDAY, YOU MAGAZINE )

'Incredible stuff' (THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE )

'A friendly and intelligent guide... with a light mix of well-researched historic trivia and contemporary statistics. [Honore's] anecdotes and self-deprecating humour convey the pleasure and reward that he experienced on his slow pilgrimage.' (THE ECONOMIST )

'The No Logo of its age... strangely enthralling, an epiphany for those of us who have forgotten how to look forward to things or to enjoy the moment when it arrives.' (THE GLASGOW HERALD )

"A fascinating insight into slowness...a million times more inspiring than any of the mass of self-help books around on downshifting. This is a rare treat to be savoured." (Viv Groskop THE SUNDAY EXPRESS )

"Well executed and persuasive... I found [In Praise of Slow] not only entertaining, but getting under my skin." (Will Hutton THE GUARDIAN, 11/09/04 )
