"Nick Sweeney is a special writer; erudite and cosmopolitan, simultaneously clever yet warm, droll yet melancholy. Laikonik Express has a range of references and obsessions that are much broader and more intriguing than those found in most contemporary novels.  It is a meditative comedy, and also a great read."
- Geoff Nicholson -

"Nick Sweeney's Laikonik Express is one of those rare things: a debut novel that is both original and immediately recognisable as a work of true voice."
- Lee Rourke -

"Crisp, witty and scalpel-sharp, Touching the Starfish doesn't miss a trick in its arch depiction of the orthodoxies and absurdities of Creative Writing Programmes and the many varieties of pond-life to be found therein. It's deadly accurate too on the often hilarious miseries of the writing life."
- Lindsay Clarke -

"The work of an anarchic imagination stuffed with incident and mordantly humorous observations."
- Eastern Daily Press -

"Comic writing doesn’t get better than this."
