"Because of Ronson's relentless self-deprecation and goofy, British humor, it's easy to tag along without fully realizing the rigor of his reporting, which is itself frenzied with compulsive questioning and obsessive research." –
The Boston Globe "A rollicking, page-turner of a book... no ordinary piece of investigative journalism... Ronson's storytelling skills are strong enough to enliven even the necessary reflections that would be one yawn after another if entrusted to a lesser writer." –
San Francisco Chronicle "...A book that manages to be as cheerily kooky as it is well-researched." –
Los Angeles Times "Engagingly irreverent..." –
New York Times "[A] fascinating and humane book..." –
Washington Post Book World "...Both terrifying and hilarious." –
