Rezensionen

'This allegory of modern life is both compelling and profound' Daily Telegraph

'Ballard's violent exact prose carries you along irresistibly. You believe him, you accept his vision, and it is a fearful one' Sunday Telegraph

'A tour de force ... a nightmare we can all share' Daily Mail

'Ballard writes with taut and precise economy, and the moral of his brilliantly original fable is plain: the interstices of our concrete jungle are filled with neglected people, and one day those people could be ourselves' Sunday Times

'Perfectly enjoyable within the horror comic tradition ... exceptionally skilful' Auberon Waugh, Evening Standard
