Cr�ticas:

"Rich with knowing... deft, funny, heartbreaking... I LOVE THIS BOOK" (A.M. Homes)

"Powerful... a funny, sensitive picture of a young man whose plight will resonate with your inner idealist" (Dazed & Confused)

"A quintessential American tale of emancipation... Spanbauer both ironises and embraces the classic American tropes his story draws on - Rigby John is a self-aware, self-deprecating, extremely witty narrator" (Metro)

"Sophisticated, funny, poignant, sexy... Rigby's storytelling voice is natural, warm and positively addictive. The many pages of this breathtaking, romantic and unpredictable novel fly past. Rarely does such a gripping story match with such a loveable character. Sit back and enjoy the lovely partnership" (Booklist)
