English Summary/英文概要： GET ME OUT OF HERE is a novel of comic anger, of success and failure, commerce and culture - and, fundamentally, belief - in a worn-out city.

Awards//获奖情况： “This is a crime novel that jangles with the best sort of Highsmithian bug-eyed paranoia, but it’s also a savage satire on our over-inflated expectations and sense of entitlement. A dark comedy in the style of early Martin Amis, GET ME OUT OF HERE will have you laughing and flinching at the same time.” The Guardian
“Henry Sutton-who writes like a dream- has pulled off what Tom Wolfe did for the greed-is-good 80s in BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES. He has written- with black, comic brilliance- about our times. But in doing so he has created a book that will be read for years. [...] “GET ME OUT OF HERE reads like Martin Amis before he lost his mojo [...].” Tony Parsons, Daily Mirror, Book of the Week
“Henry Sutton is becoming renowned for saying the unsayable in his own unique way. That is certainly true of his latest novel, which is guaranteed to keep you intrigued and wondering just how much worse things can get for the book’s central character, Matt Freeman.[...] With credit crunch London as the backdrop, this dark, slightly sinister read is totally brilliant and I haven’t read anything quite like it. if you like black comedy and central characters who are complex rather than likeable, you’ll love it too." The Sun
“I raced through this book. With Matt Freeman, Sutton has really captured the Zeitgeist. In one sense, he’s the latest in a long line of raging male losers, such as John Self in Martin Amis’ novel Money, and the Michael Douglas character in the movie Falling Down, or the anti-hero of J Robert Lennon’s novel Mailman. He also reminds me of Patrick Bateman, from Bret Easton Ellis’ book American Psycho. But Matt Freeman is different from Patrick Bateman in a couple of interesting ways. Bateman is rich, and he keeps telling us he’s murdered people, although, in the end, we suspect he hasn’t. Freeman, on the other hand, is broke and never quite comes clean about what he’s doing to people. Here we have the male loser at the end of the line, his job unravelling, his power slipping away, his money gone. A credit-crunch kind of guy." Financial Times
“Sutton’s acute rendering of a bloated city in financial and moral freefall, and the ease with which hatred and violence can overrun its streets, make this a very modern and thoroughly haunting piece of work.” Sunday Telegraph
“Freeman is the kind of character who would be delighted to read himself reviewed as a cross between the talented Tom Ripley and Patrick Bateman, the antihero of American Psycho. In fact, he doesn’t have Ripley’s guts or charisma or Bateman’s elite brand of psychopathy. He’s a paranoid mess. A lying loser. A stony broke snob. And Sutton nails him perfectly in pacy thriller form.” The Telegraph
"Sutton’s black comedy is not only a timely reminder of...the credit boom, but also a gripping read" Daily Mail
