Industry Reviews "'Making History' is a novel to be read with a smile and a growing feeling of disappointment as the end looms closer. It is not often that one finishes a 400-page novel wanting more....'Making History' is often very funny, occasionally wise. It is packed with the author's personal enthusiasms and hatreds, the former red-hot and the latter ice-black. I hope that Stephen Fry is encouraged...to continue to provide us with similar entertainments." Literary Review - Simon Ward (10/19/1996)
"Many of the plot's turns are surprising and effective. Many of the jokes are good, especially if you have no disquiet about the largeness of the material being recycled as gags. " Times Literary Supplement - Eric Korn (09/27/1926)
"[A]n overlong, glibly caustic--and often hilarious--social satire...An amusing, sophomoric, hyperbolic, academic send-up..." Whitaker
