Reviews

"Achingly funny and wise . . . vastly entertaining." --"Daily Mail"

"Bound to be compared to the works of Patrick McCabe and Roddy Doyle, Foley's novel is stingingly funny, ruefully perceptive and anything but unremarkable." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Getting Used to Not Being Remarkable"

"Delivers well-judged wisdom." --Oliver James, author, "They F*** You Up"

"Michael Foley's entertaining, intelligent book may just help you get over yourself. . . . Absurdly readable." --"Observer"
