"A fun romp full of anarchists and private police and Chesterton's sometimes-predictable but other times totally laughingly-absurd humour. The plot follows exactly the kind of course I sometimes wish my life would. " — Micha (4 out of 5 stars)

" I think I liked it, but... wtf? "
" Curious mystery turns into an allegory. "
" Peculiar, funny, and unexpectedly allegorical. The central conceit of the book (infiltrating the anarchist council) is engaging and the prose aphoristic, but the metaphysical ending left me cold. "
" Weird, and left me thinking. Someone else please read this so I can talk to someone about it. "
" There is a reason it is called a nightmare - the confusion could only be justified as a dream. It does get one thinking about anarchy and government. "
" awesome. just awesome. read it _now_ "
" Entertaining and goofy in an English sort of way. I liked it. The twist at the end wasn't as interesting as it could have been. Slightly disappointing. "
" Amazing story of political extremity "
" Well done but a bit dated. I was also put off by the religious aspect of the ending.My first e-book! (a free one) "
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) published numerous works which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biographies, histories, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Dickens (for whom he had a considerable affinity) and Saint Thomas Aquinas are considered classics in their fields.
