'It is a book one reads in a rush, always looking forward to the next perverse paragraph, wise insight or felicitous phrase' The Canberra Times
'Last Chance to See brings out the best in Adam's writing ... constandly sprinign on the reader the kind of dizzying shift in perspective that was the sock in trade of Hitch Hiker' The Listener
