'a cracker' GERALDINE BRENNAN, TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT

'going where no man has gone before' STEPHEN NAYSMITH, THE HERALD

'After an initial shock, readers of this sprightly and imaginative tale will begin to relish its verbal impetus, where a standard Lallans, laced with bits of Dundonian and Aberdonian, is stretched and skelped to meet the demands of cyberjannies and virtual hoorhooses ... I recommend an entertaining and groundbreaking book.' EDWIN MORGAN
