It's rare a book makes such an impact on me

This book is just magic

A strange, funny, adventurous novel which will stay with me for a long time

I read it in one breath. Then I couldn't quite work out what had happened to me, but whatever it was, it was true and tragic and funny and hopeful and big - big enough somehow to contain all of our stories and all of our lives inside it

An extraordinary story . . . brimming with magic and - perhaps most importantly - hope

A bold, beautiful undertaking

Funny, sad, surreal, life-affirming . . . I too would like an egg

Bizarre, beautiful and like nothing else I've ever read
