"A genuinely moral work of fiction about a subject - the confusions, joys and terrors of adolescent male sexuality - rarely addressed with any such comprehension or sympathy" * Evening Standard *
"Filth, which ever way you look at it" * Anne Fine *
"Refreshingly realistic and unsentimental approach to sex" * Time Out *
