"An engaged irony." — Télérama "A superb plot, crafted with formidable skill." — Le Monde Magazine "He’s found Orwellian tones without losing his sense of humor, beautifully reinventing himself with this thriller as electric as it is political." — L’Express "Driven by taut writing, his thriller paints a chilling vision of America - biting and tragically funny." — La Croix "A cunning way of teasing the reader about the surveillance society we’re letting be built around us today." — La Vie "A telepathic and tragicomic thriller." — Air France Madame "The brisk writing gives rhythm to this suspense novel - perhaps too short, since it ends in a breathless finale." — La Voix du Nord "He takes devilish pleasure in trapping us behind words, dialogue, and deceptively simple situations. Behind them lies the real nightmare waiting for us." — Marianne "Iain Levison could be seen as a kind of American Marcel Aymé." — Valeurs Actuelles "What an intelligent novel! Funny and gripping like any good thriller should be - but also prophetic." — Version Femina "He weaves with incredible skill a plot that combines the finest ingredients of today’s realistic crime fiction." — Le Progrès "Lovers of dark fables, rejoice!" — Sud Ouest "Both hilarious and serious." — Clés "Devastatingly effective." — Elle "Iain Levison delivers like never before, with his sharp sense of situation, humor, and punch." — Livres Hebdo
