"‘The Humans is tremendous’ JOANNE HARRIS 'The Humans is a laugh-and-cry book. Troubling, thrilling, puzzling, believable and impossible. Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin.' JEANETTE WINTERSON ‘A brilliant exploration of what it is to love, and to be human, The Humans is both heartwarming and hilarious, weird, and utterly wonderful. One of the best books I've read in a very long time.’ S. J. WATSON"
