Back to Blood dazzles so much that you might want to read it through dark glasses -- Simon O’Hagan * Independent on Sunday *
Tom Wolfe returns with a thunderous thwack, fizzing outrageously with a slipstreamed comet of a novel… It’s even better than his great hit The Bonfire of the VanitiesUnmissable stuff -- Tom Adair * Scotsman *
Exhilarating… The satire is scalpel-like and very funny. -- Wynn Wheldon * Spectator *
Energising, fascinating – and utterly exhausting. -- Tim Walker * Independent *
If this novel were rushed into A&E, it would immediately be put under heavy sedation. -- Peter Kemp * Sunday Times *
