Remarkably good... Perverse, poetic, odd... It will leave you feeling quite wonderful * Guardian *
'Excellent...This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex * The Times *
Consistently clever... genuinely memorable * Boston Globe *
While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole * Esquire *
Funny, softhearted and hopeful * Los Angeles Times *
