'Brilliant ... shows how "evil" is not born but created ... A gripping psychological study, beautifully told'
Independent on Sunday

'The narrative unfolds with the dark logic of a serial killer novel ... masterful'
Daily Telegraph

'What emerges as Seierstad pieces together the evidence from police and court transcripts, from survivors, from Breivik's mother, is in part a more literary version of The Day of the Jackal'
The Times

'This is journalism at its very best ... undoubtedly Seierstad's most powerful narrative to date'
Sunday Times
