'A glitter encrusted extravaganza... dizzying, riotous and unexpectedly moving; for all his superficial fabulousness, Bond's emotional nakedness is what makes him fierce.'
Time Out New York'Mr Bond's fabulosity is matched by a trenchant wit, and his over the top stories are smartly edged with politics, sexual or otherwise'.
