'Woody Allen and William Boyd have had a bastard love-child and his name is Mark Watson' - Stephen Fry

Psychologist Peter Kristal has a method for sorting out people's lives. By arranging their histories like the index entries in a biography, the sequences of cause and effect that have led to their particular neuroses are cunningly revealed. His technique gains him a modicum of success: a thriving practice in Chicago with a client list of thriving stars.

Praise for Bullet Points

He's a fledgling Nabokov for the era of Big Brother

Independent

Bullet Points is unnervingly accomplished. Expect to hear plenty more about him

Observer

This is an extremely well plotted novel with a surprisingly twist in the tale and augurs great things for the future

The Times

Fresh and imaginative... with wonderful flashes of humour. This is a clever and unusual book, and Watson is to be commended

Independent

Bullet Points is a fluent performance, an extremely competent first novel

Times Literary Supplement

Many readers will be amazed that Watson has written such an accomplished debut straight out of university, but his age is irrelevant; this is simply a great novel, full stop

Matt Thorne

A gripping, knowing and desperately sad mock memoir-provincial life hasn't been this well chronicled since Jonathan Coe. Bullet Points stays, appropriately, in the mind for some time
