Reviews for Kill Your Boss
Kuhn's writing is cartoonishly violent, adolescently cynical - and enormous fun
Morning Star
Smart, original
The Sun
On highly original, entertaining movie of a book. Sometimes funny, often gripping and always keeping you on your toes, Kill Your Boss is up there with the better of the year's books
Weekend Sport
A thrilling, jet-black comedy that crackles with action... sleek, quirky and enjoyable
Sunday Mirror
Kill Your Boss has cult classic written all over it... fast-moving, twisty, ultraviolent... revelling in its own lack of pretension and sheer entertainment value
Glasgow Herald
Set to be the book of the summer
Company
A serious guilty pleasure. (Well, semi-serious and semi-guilty, but definitely a pleasure.)
Seattle Times
All of the testosterone-bloated wisdom of Tucker Max mixed w/the satire of American Psycho.
Entertainment Weekly
Black humor and surprise twists distinguish Kuhn's highly entertaining debut, which puts a fresh spin on the theme of the hardened criminal planning one last job.
Publishers Weekly
Believable dialogue, a whip smart and cynical central character, clever reversals and an entertaining amount of bone-crunching violence help wrap up this nasty package with a pretty little bow. An entertaining, ferociously violent romp about a morally bankrupt killer trying to find his way home.
