Under The Frog Reviews

I began Under the Frog on a crowded double decker in a London traffic jam...and soon found myself laughing like an idiot... It is a triumph...painfully moving, it is also uproariously funny * Guardian *
A remarkable first novel * Daily Telegraph *
Original and impressive... Sharp, funny and moving * Independent *
A quite wonderful book... He takes a serious subject....and is seriously funny about it...the result is plausible, insolent, sophisticated and hungry... Glorious! -- Michael Hoffman
A funny, slangy, tragic, impeccably researched romp... A richly convincing line-up of skivers, copulators, opportunists and, above all, survivors in the face of oppression * Independent on Sunday *
