“Burgeoning comparisons notwithstanding, you could black out every other paragraph in The Every Boy and it would still outcharm Catcher in the Rye.”
— TIME OUT: NEW YORK
“Deliciously subversive.”
— FILMSTEW.COM
“Shapiro is a terrific writer with an unerring sense of how confusing it is to be 15-years-old.”
— THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (Editors Choice)
“That Shapiro can make you laugh at adolescent anguish you thought you'd repressed might explain why Brad Pitt just optioned the book.”
— GQ
“Teenage angst has never been more intense. I believe The Every Boy could be taught in classrooms some day.”
— THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN
“Henry's mid-novel trip to New York cements the inevitable Holden Caulfield parallel, but given Shapiro's corporeal take on youthful alienation, Gregor Samsa might be just as relevant.”
— THE VILLAGE VOICE
“Full of charm and eccentricity.”
— ARIZONA REPUBLIC
“A modern-day fable, The Every Boy is full of heart, heightened realism, humour and wisdom.”
— THE AGE
“I devoured this debut novel in a single day. The book manages to be a mystery, love story, and coming-of-age novel, without a mawkish moment.”
— SHELF TALKERS
“With skillfully rendered portraits of quirky people who take themselves too seriously, the author erects a world of humorous eccentricity and personal obsession.”
