Critic Reviews
"The current king of this genre" The Times
"Funny, honest and touching with engagingly mixed-up protagonists... realistic, but utterly uncynical" Observer
"A genuinely moral work of fiction about a subject - the confusions, joys and terrors of adolescent male sexuality - rarely addressed with any such comprehension or sympathy" Evening Standard
"Filth, which ever way you look at it" Anne Fine
"Refreshingly realistic and unsentimental approach to sex" Time Out
