REVIEWS
Well written and totally gripping, it keeps the reader holding on to each page until the end. A fantastic read!

Christian Cook’s “Some Corner of a Distant Field” glows with a lyrical love of the land at the beginning, so its progression is a rude shock that you keep resisting, right until the end.
SMASHWORDS READER
Broken eggshells is written with a great deal of humour... in fact, make that a huge slab of humour. I laughed out loud at numerous points through the book.
READER, AMAZON
This book is a little like a Turner Prize winning piece of art... weird but engrossing.

Remarkably fast -paced... I haven’t read a book like it at all.

There are so many funny scenes it would take forever to list them all (well, 396 pages anyway).

I was very impressed with Cook's character descriptions. This novel does not seem to revolve around one central character, but around a myriad of supporting characters, each beautifully crafted and unique, and how they view events in this mad world.
