Review :
* Savagely funny, startlingly original The Times * One of the most inventive authors around Heat * Oh, how we love Dan Rhodes ... Reliably odd but fabulous Guardian * Rhodes is that real, rare thing - a natural storyteller Sunday Times * My favourite writer who isn't dead -- STEWART LEE * A literary treasure -- LOUIS DE BERNIERES * Dan Rhodes is a true original, with a fresh, funny, quirky style that seems to owe nothing to other writers and everything to his own powers of invention -- HILARY MANTEL * Marriage, in these stories, is a process that reveals glaring blind spots in relationships, to comic, tragic and sometimes bizarre effect. -- Ted Hodgkinson Granta * Few writers can match Rhodes gag for gag; fewer still can match his effortless creation of a fully realised fictional universe. -- Stuart Evers Daily Telegraph * Rhodes's gift is to sketch a situation deadpan, and to imply the world it arises from. Taken individually, many of them could be the script for a gag cartoon or a bit in a standup routine, but in aggregate, they build up to a worldview: quirky, jaded, and yet strangely tender. They provoke a curdled eye-boggle of recognition, a yelp of laughter, a groan. or - the best of them - a sense of restrained but accepting melancholy -- Sam Leith The Guardian * Rhodes has conjured an unmissable treat... We Love This Book * Rhodes is brilliant at overturning convention and expected emotion. He takes an idea and elopes with it. -- Kate Kellaway The Observer * ...they pack an elegant, occasionally devastating, punch -- Alice Jones the Independent * Rhodes has conjured an unmissable treat for fans of microfiction, beautiful books and quirky writing We Love this Book * Weird and wonderful ... The perfect quirky Valentine's Day gift for the literary lover in your life Heat * Rhodes's lightness of touch, haiku-like brevity and willingness to break out the odd moment of romantic optimism makes for a fun, angst-free read Metro * Taken individually, the stories iunvariably raise a chuckle, usually accompanied by a wince and an involuntary acknowledgement of the truth behind the sloppy stuff of romance. But more impressively, when taken as a whole, Marry Me amounts to a bleak yet funny world view, as if PG Wodehouse and Graham Greene had got together to form a greetings card company Independent * The perfect way to while away a wintry afternoon Bookmunch
