Ghost Milk reads like a meld of poet Allen Ginsberg, comic books
writer Alan Moore and an anarchists' message board . . . There is
no doubt that Sinclair is original, observant, a wonderful phrase
maker
*Evening Standard*
A wise, irascible sentinel: a guardian seeking to protect London's
true soul from profiteering interventions by redevelopers and
"regenerators" . . . Uncomfortable, sharp and amusing . . .
Grippingly atmospheric . . . Fascinating . . . One of our most
dazzling prose stylists
*Daily Telegraph*
Dazzling prose . . . his language is always heightened . . .
Sinclair's explorations by foot are highly engaging and anything
but pedestrian
*Sunday Telegraph*
A scorching 400-page diatribe against this and other "grand
projects" . . . [Sinclair is] a crazily knowledgeable local
historian with a shaman's grasp of strange energies, unseen ley
lines, urban esoterica
*Independent Magazine*
