"...and a wise understanding of corporate employment with all its own inevitabilities. By the time we reach the conclusion, we are drained by catharsis, pelted by irony, and deeply implicated in the choices and actions of the characters.” (3/4)

"This is a pacey, gripping character-driven novel, where The Office meets Oedipus Rex. Cottrill draws on classic tragedy and even myth in some of his character studies – the trickster figure, for example, or the flawed hero – and the result is a bitter comedy, a tragedy in the purest sense..."

"Equal parts biting critique and laugh-out-loud humour, Jeff Cottrill’s latest novel explores ambition, risk, and the desperate human need for recognition—even in the most absurdly oppressive workplaces. Five-star dark laughs all round." (2/3)
