"A profound reflection on masculinity and entrepreneurial dominance… and an enjoyable read for the beach… Fans of Karnesis will not be disappointed. Markos is an imposing and wonderfully imperfect hero in a five-star novel." The Times
"The particularly well-crafted and insightful narrative structure establishes Karnesis as a novelist with rare talents." Financial Times
"Karnesis's wise allegory hints at the coming era when empty but powerful fame will reach its ultimate apotheosis." The Guardian
"The reader ends up sympathizing with the despised characters, and this, along with the way Karnesis transforms the commonplace into madness, is the secret of his charm." Independent on Sunday
