Critics Review
PRAISE FOR RED SIDE STORY:
Cleverly constructed, with engaging characters and lots of good jokes, this sparkling Wizard of Oz-inspired fantasy is … one of the quirkiest dystopias ever imagined * The Guardian *
The jokes are excellent, the pacing breathless and the last line a classic * Observer *
Great fun and full of quirky worldbuilding detail * SFX *
A fun yarn with … a generous dose of rollicking adventure * Reader’s Digest *
Fforde paints a Terry Pratchett-esque picture laced with laughter * Daily Express *
That mischievous little monkey Jasper Fforde was on his best form yet with Red Side Story … It was possible to invest a little in the characters, as well as enjoying the incessant puns and Fforde’s marvellously eccentric imagination * The Spectator *
