Review?A grimly amusing tale? what makes it enjoyable (and slightly worrying) is that it?s not that far-fetched? Metro London ?The absurdity and petty injustices brought Kingsley Amis to mind? Telegraph ?Like the novels of Magnus Mills and the TV work of Ricky Gervais and the League of Gentlemen crew, this is a work in the emerging school of the new absurd... morally accurate, spiritually depressing and vastly readable? Big Issue in the North ?A very dark, fast-moving story of scam and counter-scam which doesn?t pull its punches when it comes to the frailties and absurdities of immigration control ? or perhaps that should be out-of-control?
