Naïve. Super - Softcover

Loe certainly has some of Salinger's lightness of touch, and often comic voice of his unnamed narrator recalls Salinger's Holden Caulfield. A charming debut novel. * * The Times * * it displays a canny lightness of touch and a great deal of charm. An effortlessly hip and savvy antidote to the rainy day blues. * * Sleazenation * * It is fascinating, how much depth this young author can convey in a simple language - a major talent. * * Oldenburgische Volkzeitung, Germany * * A book overflowing with creative talent on just about every page. Well calculated naivety. * * Dagbladet, Norway * *
