He's a fledgling Nabokov for the era of Big Brother
- Independent
Bullet Points is unnervingly accomplished. Expect to hear plenty more about him
- Observer
This is an extremely well plotted novel with a surprisingly twist in the tale and augurs great things for the future
- The Times
Fresh and imaginative... with wonderful flashes of humour. This is a clever and unusual book, and Watson is to be commended
- Independent

Mark Watson was born in Bristol in 1980. A stand-up comedian, he recently gained international attention with the world's first solo 24-hour show, which won three Edinburgh Festival awards and was described by the Scotsman as 'one of the defining moments of fringe comedy, sure to become a cultural legend'. He had previously won the 2002 Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award, and been nominated for the Perrier Best Newcomer Award in 2001 with the show 'Far Too Happy'. He lives in London with his fiancé, who accepted his proposal on stage.
