Reviews
from Dreadful Acts
WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO SAY
"These are among the rare books that will reward slow readers as richly
as bookgobblers, because moving word to word and savoring the absurdity
of each phrase will give as much pleasure as galloping through the
story." --Newsday
"Ardagh's prose is a blend of archaic
elegance, silly puns, and direct address . . ." --Booklist
"If you adored Philip Ardagh's witty,
hilarious and somewhat bizarre short novel for adolescents and somewhat
older reader's titled, "A House Called Awful End," then you must go out
and buy, beg, or borrow the second installment, called "Dreadful Acts."
