Critics Review
‘Praise for Nels Abbey: Cutting!! This book rewarded me with dark, dry chuckles on every page. I had to laugh, because if I didn’t, I would cry’ - RENI EDDO-LODGE
‘I really can’t think of any comedian, satirist or journalist (with a sense of humour) that has made me laugh out so loud and be so stimulated intellectually at the same time. No messing people, Nels Abbey has written the most original book ever … It takes hold of your cerebral cortex then grabs your funny bone, and it doesn’t let go until the very end. Honestly. Even the appendices shine with brilliance. What kind of book is this? I don’t know. Just read it and see how difficult it is to put the label on the work of a true mastermind’ - BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
‘Nels Abbey has created a work of the blackest humour (pun intended) and it is unrepentantly rewarding … Wicked in every sense of the word’ - JEFFREY BOAKYE
