'Down the Rabbit Hole is a miniature high-speed experiment with perspective ... a deliberate, wild attack on the conventions of literature.' Adam Thirlwell---'This is a novel about failing to understand the bigger picture, and in its absence we can see it more clearly.' Nicholas Lezard, Choice of the Week, The Guardian ----'Juan Pablo Villalobos brilliantly encapsulates the chaos of a lawless existence in which anything might happen and everything goes.' Lucy Popescu, The Independent----'The cumulative parodic effect is chillingly powerful.' Edward King, Sunday Times----'Villalobos creates Tochtli's half-corrupt, half-innocent world with a brilliant, tragi-comic light touch.' Jane Shilling, Daily Mail----'A novel that breaks our hearts (which we knew were broken, but still hurt) and invites us to both laugh and think.' El Economista
