Critical Praise

"Both entertaining and informative...hits like a warning shot from twenty-five years into the future."

——Chicago Tribune

"As disaster tales go, this is a sly, hip one...Boyle has always liked to play circus barker for life's extremes and what better freak show than the environmental apocalypse itself?"

——The Washington Post

"Funny and touching, antic and affecting . . . while Boyle's humor is as black as ever, he demonstrates that satire can coexist with psychological realism, comedy with compassion."

——The New York Times
