"Fast-paced and witty, 'Paradise' is both an uproarious comedy about lawlessness and a serious allegory about bondage. Greg Lazarus once again presents a cast of engaging, believable characters, not least of whom is the adorable klutz, Hershel Bloch." Finuala Dowling, author of "What Poets Need" and "Notes from the Dementia Ward"

"Laced with perfectly pitched black humour, 'Paradise' is populated with brilliantly drawn and unforgettable characters. I loved it." Sarah Lotz, author of "Tooth & Nailed" and "The Three"
