Critics Review
A manic tale of sibling rivalry that owes its small town setting mostly to John Cheever, and its seething resentment mostly to William Shakespeare … at once maundering and intensely emotionally violent * Observer *
Searing and memorable … Theroux plays skillfully on reader sympathies until the bitter end, showing how a man’s beliefs can make him turn to violence * Publishers Weekly *
American master Paul Theroux delivers a chilling psychological novel in The Bad Angel Brothers * Honolulu Magazine *
Watch the magician’s hands: Theroux has some powerful twists in his hat, and the language and compelling prose with which to offer them into the spotlight * New York Journal of Books *
Theroux’s prose is so rich, his perceptions so many-layered, he involves us in a world that extends well beyond the physical limits of his novel * The Times *
