Reviews
Holmes is a very funny storyteller... Sleb is an enjoyable and well-executed novel
A great read".
A fascinating insight into the nature of celebrity and obsession".
A thoughtful character study, as well as a gripping psychological thriller.
Not only a brilliant satire on the shallow times we live in, but also a moving portrait of the disintegration of one man’s life.
A brilliant satire on celebrity and the media, and a moving portrait if the disintegration of one man’s life.
A funny and enjoyable book.
Clever, sharp, funny.
Funny, touching and often terrifying... Brilliant characterisation and a cunningly devised plot.
SLEB is terribly clever... Its most impressive quality is the rage and confusion of the grieving Sewell, and the shame and self-delusion of his descent into alcoholism... Painfully accurate emotion.
Darkly enjoyable debut.
[SLEB] is not only a brilliant satire on the shallow times we live in, but also a moving portrait of the disintegration of one man's life
It is safe to say that this will be one of the most enjoyable debuts of 2002
Ingenious twist... Holmes has a great line in drunken, rage-filled monologues which collapse into pathos.
