Reviews

"With a subject that ranges from the noxious to the infernal, it is a wonder that Girling's book manages to be compulsively readable and often hilarious, as well as important."
*Sunday Times*

"I believe this is one of the most important books of the year...highly fascinating, totally absorbing, compulsively readable."
*The Bookseller*

"A timely intervention for a human race hooked on throwing things away...Girling's sardonic humour makes unpalatable facts compelling prose."

"Be scared. Be very scared. But be sure to read this book."
*Ben Elton*
