'Mr Thompson's best work of the past three decades' New York Times Book Review
'There are many hideously funny stories in this collection. Thompson writing on mescalin, staying on for the fall of Saigon, explaining what it must be like to be a multimillionaire in Palm Beach . . .' Independent on Sunday
'Dead funny . . . That our guru has made it this far merits drinks and dynamite all round at the Woody Creek Road and Gun Club (and spiritually affiliated North London branches). That he is still alive, and at large, defies medical and legal beliefs' Andy Kershaw, Literary Review
'Proves that you can't keep the old bastard quiet . . . a superb offering' City Limits
