A fantastic twist on the detective/noir genre; Lethem's writing and characters really come to life.

Just a truly beautiful book by perhaps my favorite writer right now.

This Japanese writer is so inventive and imaginative, it stretches the idea of a novel in new ways.

His writing is just so cool, it redefines the word. Just one of a series of awesome books by the best sci-fi writer alive.

I can't get enough of Hornby's writing. This was made into a good but formulaic movie — the book is much better. Also see Fever Pitch, How to be Good, a Long Way Down, and High Fidelity.

This novelist is at the top of his form, and his experiments with the reliability and subjectivity of the narrator are unbeatable.
