Reviews

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice<br> <br> [Joe Dunthorne is] probably destined to be compared with Mark Haddon and Roddy Doyle. --The Miami Herald <br><br> This absolutely winning debut novel isn't so much a coming-of-age tale as it is a reflection on what it means to be a certain age and of an uncertain mind. -- Los Angeles Times <br> <br> A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic talent. -- The Times (London)<br> <br> [Dunthorne's] precocious talent and cheerful fondness for the teenage male are showcased in Submarine . . . . Oliver's voice is funny and dead-on. -- The New York Times Book Review <br> <br> Preternaturally wise, slightly devious and highly entertaining. -- USA Today


A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic talent The Times Dunthorne captures the mores of Britain today better than novelists twice his age New Statesman Brilliant ... laugh-out-loud enjoyable. The sharpest, funniest, rudest account of a troubled teenager's coming-of-age since The Catcher in the Rye Independent Transplants The Catcher in the Rye to south Wales ... Dunthorne can make you laugh like you did during double physics on a wet Wednesday afternoon Observer A richly amusing tale of mock GCSEs, sex, death and challenging vocabulary ... Excruciatingly funny incidents and cracking gags Time Out Excellent ... the wonderful, Day-Glo certainties of adolescence have rarely been so brilliantly laid out Independent on Sunday
