Sagt om boken:

"... skriven på ett bländande språk ? humoristisk, galen och helt underbar." - BTJ

?Swedish he may be, but Brounéus comes perilously close to having written the great New Zealand visionary fiction novel... a rollicking adventure ? humorous and as exciting as an Indiana Jones escapade.? ? Sunday Star-Times

?Great characters... laugh out loud material... just brilliant.? ? Radio New Zealand

?Hilarious action and deep philosophical discussion. Reincarnation has never been treated like this before.? ? Dominion Post
