Editorial Reviews

"Wildly original, brutally gruesome, a dazzling performance that will outrage as many readers as it delights. Vulgarly, bitterly funny, it will not be forgotten by those who can take it" - New York Times

"Blessedly, monstrously, bloatedly, cynically funny and fantastically unique. No one has ever written a book like this" - Financial Times

"The greatest satirical work in the English language" - Philip Toynbee, Observer

"My all-time favourite war-novel" - Andy McNab, Spectator
