"One of the most exciting and original novels of the year . . .
It's a tight, thrilling story, told from various characters'
perspectives and has a Slumdog, feel-good pulse beating through it.
A genuine treasure find" -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
"One of my favourite novels of 2010, now in paperback with a new
cover look. Reminiscent of Slumdog Millionaire, three dumpsite boys
take on the world in this gripping and intensely moving story . . .
Harrowing, exhilarating, humbling and quite brilliant" -- Fiona
Noble * The Bookseller *
"Outstanding, hotly anticipated thriller . . . an exceptionally
satisfying plot" -- Amanda Craig * The Times *
"Great stuff: taut, plausible and thought-provoking" -- Toby
Clements * Daily Telegraph *
"Trash is a thriller with moral weight and a complex structure . .
. Without ever moralising, Mulligan raises issues of corruption,
poverty, waste and excess in an exciting, but also grimly sad tale"
-- Suzi Feay * Financial Times *
