I knew we were in trouble as soon as the ostrich appeared. It's a fearless, hurtling hell of a debut. - Christopher Fowler This is the kind of book that 'Best of Lists' were made for. Nine and Three Quarters out of Ten - Graeme's Fantasy Book Review Strange and wonderful The World House will take you on a long bizarre journey within four walls, carrying you into dark imaginative regions from room to room, basement to attic, and leave you with the feeling that a journey to the centre of the earth, or to the moon, would be no less exhilarating. - Garry Kilworth Looking back at that first book, I could see how carefully Adams had planted the seeds for what would happen in Restoration , and I applaud him for an effort well done. ... I enjoyed how this novel was intricately woven into the fabric of the first book, giving greater depth to each and creating a richer whole. Restoration is a complicated and tightly knit story of destiny and perseverance, and it's definitely one of the more unusual tales you'll pick up. - www.owlcatmountain.com
