I like to imagine the heavies weighing in:

“Wildly funny! Unmercifully funny! A must-read!”—Olifant Smeaton, Victorian Vaseline

"A kind of prose comic book. Immensely satisfying. I dare you not to read this book."—Valencia Stankovich, T&A Tri-Quarterly

"I haven't seen anything this funny since Scott showed me his thing."—Ernest Hemingway, Field and Stream

"I laughed so hard I farted!"—Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

"Well, I can now die. I have just read one of the funniest books (and incidentally one of the finest novels) ever written! Too funny! Dangerously funny! HELP!"—Gore Vidal, Culture Quarterly

"Mr. MacLean's achievement is in the order of a literary landmark. It stands with the best of Joyce and Nabokov. Not since Twain has such a gifted humorist emerged onto the scene. Bravo!" —Elmo Shitstaad, The Hollywood Intellectual

"This is just non-stop funny! I don't know how he does it! He's on every time!"—Giselle Blotch, Woman's Monthly

"Un-unreadable! By actual count seventy-seven out-loud laughs, thirty-three lasting several minutes! This guy's great!" —Dale Evans, The Double-R-Bar Book Review

"With this work the novel ceases to be an evocation of emotional states connected with actual terrains, or the illusion of actual terrains, and becomes a tracing of psychological process itself. From the laugh the reader is thrown back on the structure of cognitive function. Either that or I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about."—Marvin Margleworth, Kansas Herald-Sun-Examiner

"A vision so original it can scarcely be accommodated, sort of thing."—Deke and Dade Danton, The Book Review Brothers

"I don't know, I thought it was crap! Kaka! A total waste of time!"—Ed Ud, Me Magazine

"I’ve read road signs with deeper characters!"—Medley Lovewurst, Toilet-Time Reading
