Critical reception

[edit]

The Age said "the book bears signs of having been hastily put together. Mr Clune's facile style is a little too facile." However the reviewer thought it was also "very entertaining."[3]

The Sydney Morning Herald review called Clune "Australia's cliche expert" and listed the book's cliches in its review.[4]
