Critics Review
Possibly the best book about a geek written for geeks ever written. Sam is one of us. By the time Sam’s adventures have come to an end, your heart will have broken - but then it will swell with joy. This book is bloody lovely. Read it. - SFX Magazine
It’s the kind of story that will have you tearing up with empathy for Sam one moment, and crying with laughter at his haphazard heroics the next. One thing’s for certain, we need more Sam Holloways - in literature and life. - CultureflyThomas’ warmth and compassion shine through in The Unlikely Heroics - it’s a book to make you consider the hidden drives and issues that can shape a person’s behaviour. It’s also funny, warm and ultimately full of hope. - Western MailA riveting and often moving read…The narrator’s voice compels the narrative - he’s a hugely likeable character…this is the best of its type that I’ve read in a long while. I’ll be very interested to see what Thomas writes next.Be aware… this book will own your heart! It’s a funny yet touching human voyage of discovery with an unlikely hero… You’ll be cheering him on! - Peterborough TelegraphThe Unlikely Heroics of Sam Holloway is a joy to read. Rhys Thomas has managed to take everything I like about literary fiction and put it into one book: humor, humanity, action, and redemption. If I’m being 100% honest, I’m actually a little mad at the guy. I wish I’d written this one myselfAbout The Author
