Industry Reviews

'Intricately conceived, stylishly written and admirably ambitious, this absorbing novel lingers in the mind.' Peter Parker, Sunday Times '"Specimen Days" contains more incidental beauty and emotional insight than many impeccably dull items on the shortlists of prestigious literary prizes. And it's by far the best gothic historical sci-fi cop thriller you'll ever read.' Michel Faber, Guardian 'Cunningham's conclusion is decidedly optimistic, if not utopian!And it is that abiding, dreamlike cinematic sweep of time -- and our place within it -- which makes "Specimen Days" an ultimately satisfying, richly rewarding and deeply enjoyable book.' Philip Hoare, Sunday Telegraph 'Thought-provoking.' Independent 'As a novel of ideas, "Specimen Days" manages to be both entertaining and moving!puzzling, thought-provoking and well worth having.' Daily Telegraph 'Like its namesake, this novel is a work of genius.' The Glasgow Herald 'We live in strange, terrible times. "Specimen Days" catches this strangeness and terror with a poet's eye and a seer's courage.' Irish Times 'One of our very best writers.' Los Angeles Times
