Critic Reviews

"The elegance of this book is that its axis is a resounding 'perhaps'... It is this moral ambivalence that draws readers to the true crime genre, and Safran nails it!" ( Weekend Australian)
"Mississippi is like a trampoline for [Safran's] eccentricities. But the form and content of the story bring out an unfamiliar side of him." ( Sydney Morning Herald)
"A winning combination of memoir, true crime and gonzo journalism...a compulsive summer read." ( Sunday Mail)
"Funny and gripping and wonderfully weird.... It's a tremendous book. I can't praise it too highly." (Louis Theroux)
"Witty, insightful, compelling - In Cold Blood for our generation." (Eddie Perfect)
"[Safran] has written a marvellous book which I cannot put down." ( Melbourne Observer)
"Now I know what to recommend people who liked Them." (Jon Ronson, author of The Men Who Stare at Goats and The Psychopath Test)
"Stunning." ( Men's Style)

Loved it! Instantly compelling, with the first caper brimming with edge-of-your-seat suspense. The story telling is charming. Highly recommended if you miss the John Safran and Father Bob radio show. I crocheted my dog a nice vest to this book.

Nice book.

Loved it so much that I was a bid sad when it ended. A serious crime story that also made me laugh at times.

This is Good

Safran's nasal lisp adds an extra layer of awkwardness to this moving , thought provoking , excruciatingly honest & hilarious story.
