'The End of Mr Y is a masterpiece ... A brilliant, engaging story that in the end makes you rethink the nature of existence and the true structure of the world.' Douglas Coupland"Ingenious and original ... A cracking good yarn fizzing with intelligence." Philip Pullman "One of the most exciting novels I have read in recent years." Jonathan Coe"Scarlett Thomas's mindbogglingly brainy and playful The End of Mr. Y deserves to make her better known at last." Independent on Sunday"This splendid piece of Victorian Gothic has a delightful whiff of decaying books, and a strong pinch of sulphur. Hugely enjoyable."Kate Saunders , The Times"The End of Mr Y deserves all the praise it has already received and much more; it's destined to become a cult book that provides readers with just as exciting an escape as Thomas's imaginary discourse."Matt Thorne, Sunday Telegraph
