'The book comes alive in its descriptions of people and places ... Franklin-Wallis writes stylishly about ugly things ... interesting and sobering ... His book should prompt serious discussion in boardrooms and parliaments' The Economist
'Waste is a serious problem and also a curiously fascinating one. In this brilliant book, Franklin-Wallis goes into it up to his neck - so we don't have to! The result is a gripping read that will anger as much as it fascinates. There's lots we can all do to help, but he's right to conclude that it's government and business who really have to step up, and clean up' Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
