i have really enjoyed reading this book and so here is what the critics say:

`one of the best comic novels of growing up, and one of the sharpest satires on race relations in this country, that i´ve ever read.´
... independent on sunday



`a first novel to cherish because it is so splendidly itself´
... financial times


`this is exactly the novel one hoped hanif kureishi would write: utterly irreverent and wildly improper, but also genuinely touching and truthful. and very funny indeed.´
... salman rushdie
