  “Deft writing and simple sentences create a stark, ironic tone. Plots and scenes are in worlds more obscure than usual: the world of music promotion, Russia during the break-up of the Soviet bloc. The screenwriter for The Kite Runner and Woverine, this author is hip, young, and fresh. Everything i am not. I also recommend his other novel, City of Thieves.”

  “Interesting, quirky short stories by the author who wrote City of Thieves, one of my favorite books. The characters in each story were unique--male, female, aging, coming of age, soldiers, actresses, professors, artists--as were the stories and situations. The title story was not my favorite, but I did enjoy "De Composition" and "The Barefoot Girl in Clover."”

  “These stories were witty, spontaneous, and somewhat, vulgar. I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone under 18. I was able to finish this in a week. I have to give it to the author, each story was different and unique than the one before it. I like his creative style and how descriptive the stories were.”
