Critical Praise
"Westlake's novel comes awesomely close to the ultimate in comic, Big-caper novels; it's so filled with...action and imagination."
New York Times Book Review
"Westlake is a master hand at the running gag....This Westlake brought on such a case of the laughing bends that I required decompression."
Washington Post
