What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Levison is a sly storyteller … by turns funny, sad, and insightful.”—Booklist
“Plenty of humor in [Levison’s] gruff caper, but he punctuates the laughs with just the right hint of sadness… . A lean crime story and a stark alternative to glossier capers.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Levison is the real deal … bracing, hilarious, and dead on.”—The New York Times Book Review
“There is a naked, pitiless power in his work.”—USA Today

“Exciting, funny, poignant and sociologically important.”—Chicago Tribune
“An amusingly bleak little (im)moral fable… . A gleeful satire.”—Detroit Free Press
“Loaded with hilarious deadpan humor.”—Dallas Morning News
