Reviews / Votes
A cult in the making. * * Time Out * * Clever, exciting, funny . . . and, finally, moving. * * Sunday Times * * A pychological thriller with shades of Memento and The Matrix and the fiction of Mark Danielewski; page-turning, playful and chilling by turns. * * Guardian * * Fast, sexy, intriguing, intelligent - The Raw Shark Texts is all these and more: a cult waiting to happen, a blockbuster begging to be made. Steven Hall is a truly fantastic storyteller. Investigate, now! -- Toby LittMore details
