"Larson's vividly imagined world and his quirky narrator are likely to win him a cadre of loyal fans."
Publishers Weekly
"This intellectual giddy riot is the book of the year . . . The mystery is taken to a whole new level of techno speak artistry, and wonderfully witty, like John Kennedy Toole if he'd written a mystery novel and did meth-a lot of it. The warmth of the character seeps through in Dewey Decimal's love for a devastated New York . . . The most original PI since Marlowe. OCD never seemed so compelling. L
