Lexicon (Paperback)

Brilliantly realised... strikingly relevant... a resounding success Highly entertaining and engrossing... characters that are both complicated and likeable Gripping... a pitch-perfect thriller, a jetpack of a plot that rocketed me from page one to page 400 in a single afternoon Truly original... a crack-paced thriller... smart and tons of fun Barry's smartest dystopia yet Sophisticated and laden with subtext... clearly reaffirms Barry's status as a gifted purveyor of suspense Best thing I've read in a long, long time... a masterpiece Wonderfully crafted, dark yet humourous, fast-paced and tragic in turn An extraordinarily fast, funny, cerebral thriller Delightfully high-concept...think Noam Chomsky meets Christopher Nolan Insanely good. Dark and twisted and sweet and humane all at once. Dazzling and spectacularly inventive. A novel that jams itself sideways into your brain and stays there. A spellbinding, intelligent read...a freewheeling plot intermeshed with linguistic theory and some genuinely creepy horror set-pieces
