Reviews for The Antipope
'Wonderful...A heady mix of Flann O'Brien, Douglas Adams, Tom Sharpe and Ken Campbell, but with an inbuilt irreverence and indelicacy that is unique - and makes it the long-awaited, heavy smoker's answer to The Lord Of The Rings'
Time Out
'Wonderfully entertaining...reads like a Flann O'Brien rewrite of Close Encounters'
