PositiveAustralian Book ReviewThough sometimes very funny, it is dark and full of tragic power ... The title promises extinctions and the narrative delivers, in blow after sickening blow ... Wilson offers her readers not closure but the impetus to continue imagining how these characters – how we all – impinge on each other, whether we like it or not. We may draw morals from this dark novel, but let us be warier than Fred of the impulse to take drastic action to atone for past failings.
