The Coma

Praise

“Evocative… unsettling.” –The San Francisco Chronicle

“A strange, compelling ride into that realm where nothing is what it seems—and where night never really wakes up.” –The Times (London)

“Mind-bending… If you’re the kind of reader who likes perusing ten pages of a book before bed, be warned. Once you start this novel is it impossible to stop reading.” –The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Might just be the most perfectly paces novel since Ian McEwan’s Amsterdam.” –The St. Petersburg Times

“Unputdownable… A dark and sometimes terrifying story that derives its somber beauty from the directness and precision of Garland’s writing.” –Salon.com

“Spare in its scope and piercing in its focus on subconscious metaphysics. Garland constructs a literal mind game. The Coma repeatedly pulls the rug out from under the reader, yet somehow maintains a coherent image of Carl’s mental state.” –Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Urgent and unsettling… compelling and chilling.” –The Observer
