[Smith''s] novels are fresh and exciting ." --VICE.com "Smith is a spiritual heir to Kurt Vonnegut " -- Booklist , starred review "Magnificently bizarre, irreverent and bitingly witty" -- Kirkus , starred review "Fans of Smith''s raunchy, profane, and provocative work will find this funny but morally serious tale deeply appealing." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for Grasshopper Jungle : "This raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling sci-fi novel defies description--it''s best to go into it with an open mind and allow yourself to be first drawn in, then blown away." -- Rolling Stone "A literary joy to behold. . . . reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut''s Slaughterhouse Five , in the best sense." -- The New York Times Book Review "A bizarrely fascinating premise that Smith pulls off with panache. . . . Like an absurdist Middlesex . A- " -- Entertainment Weekly "I found myself saying over and over again, ''Where in the heck is he going with this?'' all the while turning the pages as fast as I could. Mostly I kept thinking, This was a brave book to write ." -- Terry Brooks , author of the Shannara series "Andrew Smith is the bravest storyteller I know. Grasshopper Jungle is the most intelligent and gripping book I''ve read in over a decade. It''s a masterpiece ." -- A. S. King , Printz Honor-winning author of Ask the Passengers and Please Ignore Vera Dietz " Grasshopper Jungle plays like a classic rock album, a killing machine of a book built for the masses that also dives effortlessly into more challenging, deeper regions of emotion. Above all else, when it''s done you want to play it all over again. It''s sexy, gory, hilarious, and refreshingly amoral . I wish I''d had this book when I was fifteen." -- Jake Shears , Scissor Sisters "This book is nothing short of a brilliant, hilarious thrill-ride that is instantly infectious. The deft hand by which Smith explores teenage love and sexuality . . . is truly breathtaking. In writing a history of the end of the world , Smith may have just made history himself." -- John Corey Whaley , Printz Award-winning author of Where Things Come Back "Original, weird, sexy, thought-provoking and guaranteed to stir controversy. One hell of a book ." -- Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series " Grasshopper Jungle , in many ways, is a book about how there might be a manual for defeating monsters that have invaded town, but there''s not going to be an easy manual for everything else that weighs on the mind." -- A.V. Club "You, too, will love Smith''s bold, bizarre, and beautiful novel."-- The Boston Globe "No author writing for teens today can match Andrew Smith''s mastery of the grotesque , the authentic experiences of teenage boys or the way one seamlessly becomes a metaphor for the other." -- BookPage , Top February Teen Pick "A meanderingly funny, weirdly compelling and thoroughly brilliant chronicle of ''the end of the world, and shit like that''... a mighty good book." - Kirkus, starred review "Filled with gonzo black humor, Smith''s outrageous tale makes serious points about scientific research done in the name of patriotism and profit, the intersections between the personal and the global, the weight of history on the present, and the often out-of-control sexuality of 16-year-old boys." - PW, starred review " Original, honest, and extraordinary ... pushes the boundaries of young adult literature." - School Library Journal , starred review, "Smith is a spiritual heir to Kurt Vonnegut" - Booklist , starred review "Magnificently bizarre, irreverent and bitingly witty" - Kirkus , starred review "Fans of Smith's raunchy, profane, and provocative work will find this funny but morally serious tale deeply appealing." - Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for Grasshopper Jungle : "This raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling sci-fi novel defies description-it's best to go into it with an open mind and allow yourself to be first drawn in, then blown away." - Rolling Stone "A literary joy to behold. . . . reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five , in the best sense." - The New York Times Book Review "A bizarrely fascinating premise that Smith pulls off with panache. . . .
