Self-publishing has many advantages, but "McQuail" is clearly not one of
them. -- The Corangamite Thunderer
The main character is my age (almost exactly), my religion (well,
almost) and far more promiscuous than I could ever hope to be.
-- Dick Gross
Adolescent, unformed, semi-literate, pretentious. And those are the good
things about Steve Brook's book. A shock therefore to learn that the
author is approaching his threescore and ten.
-- The Bugle, Maroochydore
A pity the book's content cannot match its snappy design.
-- The Australian Pergola
Can "McQuail - the Movie" be far away?
-- Vision & Sound
Religion, the US, marriage - "McQuail" is a puerile attack on easy
targets. It's all been done, and done better, before. Brook should learn
draughts or crochet and rejoin his generation.
-- Yippee! Wahoo! Weekly
I thoroughly enjoyed McQuail. It's clear that you're emerging as the
antipodean Kurt Vonnegut.
-- Phillip Adams
