"Original and amazingly engrossing ... it is much enhanced by its high-quality production and the beautiful illustrations by Dave McKean" Daily Telegraph "To today's overprotected children, Varjak Paw is the perfect emblem of the joys and dangers of freedom. Beautifully illustrated by Dave McKeen and written in spine-tingling prose, the novels have a suspenseful edginess that children instantly respond to" The Times "A wonderfully original creation: a fearless feline with a gift for whizzy martial arts ... grippingly vivid ... Dave McKean's scratchy, lean drawings perfectly capture Said's dark narrative" Evening Standard "It's refreshing to enter a world of cats. And not just any old cats, but the rich collection of heroes and villains in the world of Varjak Paw ... The Outlaw Varjak Paw is another swift, compelling tale. And Varjak is an appealing and believable hero" The New York Times "The bleakness of the story is magnified by Dave McKean's brilliant illustrations. The combination of his blood-spattered paintings and Said's staccato descriptions lends the fight scenes an almost balletic quality ... The world inhabited by these emaciated cats becomes engrossing, while the emotional ambiguities offer plenty for adults to think about" Time Out
