«En skulle ikke tro Agnar Lirhus har gjort annet enn å skrive ungdomsromaner (…) Bunnsolid ungdomsbokdebut (...) Boka vil temmelig sikkert slå an hos ungdommen, med sin høydramatiske handling og gode driv (…) en velmodulert, fint formulert fortelling om mobbing, om voksne som ser en annen vei når det blir ubehagelig, og om å mobilisere mot og håp når alt ser svart ut…» Terningkast 5!
