What an amazing book. So clear, concise and conversational but at the same time startling, strange, deeply moving. Hearty Congratulations @elfodongo.bsky.social and @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

This is a wonderful book. Psychedelic and alien yet recognisable, moving, precise. Many congratulations @peirenepress

Biased, I know but with what's happening around the globe, this is very prescient and a brilliant read.

Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh is essentially unputdownable in my view. So moving, so believable, so unsparing of yet merciful towards its characters. Funny and heartbreaking (what more can you ask for?).

It was such a privilege to be able to read this book. It is funny and angry and pacy and timely. Nicola Barker really and truly has one of the biggest imaginations in the business.

I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @jomcmillan.bsky.social
