"I adored it. Coleridge has a Waugh-like eye for hilarious social nuance and a Henry Jamesian ear for precision. He is both self-deprecating and shrewd as he regales us with his rollicking ride as editor and tastemaker in the world of British glossy magazines: an irresistible read." —Tina Brown
"Coleridge writes like a dream." —Observer
"Coleridge dissects the social mores with the precision of Tom Wolfe." —New Yorker
"Coleridge fixes the world with a glittering eye." —Financial Times
"The most entertaining book of the year." —Sunday Times
"Has bounding vitality, glorious zest and and an uplifting generosity of spirit. It is always playful, sometimes hilarious - but above all it is wise." —Literary Review
"Coleridge is a witty writer . . . reading this book is like sitting next to a sharp but generous-hearted raconteur at dinner." —Mail on Sunday
"Gentle, jolly . . . Blissfully funny . . . One might wish to make people as happy, personally and professionally, as Coleridge has done - and will continue to do with this amusing book." —Sunday Telegraph
