Reviews
A novel of rare intelligence and ambition...Funny, insightful, beautifully plotted
A plot of marvellous intricacy...it provokes peals of horrid laughter
An excellent novel
A Vicious Circle has the zest and mordant wit of an early Evelyn Waugh and it is a testament to Craig's talent that the characters leap off the page despite their often cartoon-like grotesquerie . . . In an age in which we are seriously lacking comic novels with bite, A Vicious Circle is a wonderful tonic - a work that makes you cry with laughter but also eats unforgettably into your soul
It makes you laugh, it makes you blub...an excellent and entertaining read
One of the wickedest, most clever satires of modern London in recent years. I loved it
Line after line of sparkling malice...a fierce and funny book
Combines wit, panache and extravagance with a penetrating moral sense...delightfully readable and not a little disturbing
A brilliant disquisition on the way we live now...No wonder some people mention it in the same breath as Vanity Fair. Its treatment of ambition, of social rise and fall, warrant the comparison...a hugely entertaining book
