What they've been saying

-- "Tony Diggs is a fully realised and fascinating character. Once you’re inside his head it’s hard to get back out again. Tony’s journey (sexual, pharmaceutical and personal) drags us through the underbelly of rock music, pot dealing, bar fights, enemas, doll collecting, factory work and despair.
This is an extraordinary debut novel. Pick up a copy, put Syd Barrett on the turn table and read it." - Bookmunch.
-- "Occasional metaphors and analogies aside, psychological observations manifest themselves mostly in the form of actions instead of narratorial intrusion. It's an elegant skill that Boyle has mastered.
I really can't recommend this book enough. Readers and writers alike should find an engaging story with enough substance to justify a place on the reread shelf" - The New Review.
-- "If you were anywhere in the early eighties, you’ll recognize the authenticity of Boyle’s voice and the integrity of each scene, painted in stark and alarming color." - Kennay.com.
-- "This is shock fiction reminiscent of Bukowski's work, or Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting. Dollhouse is resplendent with porn; it constantly aims for the money shot and Boyle relentlessly cashes in." - GUD.
-- "A very good book, one that does with a protagonist what should be done. The theme of alienation without cynicism is rare." - Carter Monroe.
-- "A drunken, doped-up, punked-out fingerfuck of a thrill ride." - Skip Williamson.
