"Beautifully disorienting...A fun book to get lost in."
--Ari Shapiro, NPR
"Delightful, ingenious, and beautifully designed."
--Philip Pullman, author of the His Dark Materials trilogy
"Captivating and informative.... Getting lost and found in Eliot's contemplative prose and Quibe's clever drawings is a...gratifying experience."
--Publishers Weekly
"An utterly unique reading experience."
--Booklist
"The illustrations encourage the reader to follow a single red line as it surges and zigzags from page to page, sometimes making us read upside down or back to front. It turns reading into a game in which the book is both a puzzle and its own solution, and the results are variously enticing, frustrating, and addictive--not unlike a real maze."
--Guardian
"Eliot's book darts with a nimble wit, sentences arcing from one page to the next so you must turn the entire thing as you read, an experience I had not had since the labyrinths of Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves. Ariadne's red thread runs throughout, a sinuous scribble forming mazes, but also minotaurs and Mephistopheles and Lara Croft."
--New Statesman "
"Real labyrinthine fun ... a remarkable feat of creativity."
--Bookseller
"A hypnotising and strangely physical experience. Uniquely magical, each page offers new delights. Many books are described as 'journeys,' but Follow This Thread really is one."
--Alan Connor, author of Two Girls, One on Each Knee
"Genuinely odd . . . you'll want to buy copies for all your friends."
--Spectator
"Beautifully immaculate degree zero prose . . . [an] exhilarating experience"
--Greg Bright, the "Maze King"
