Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of March 2023:Smart, character driven, Birnam Wood has a little bit of everything: danger, intrigue, double-crossing, a scheming billionaire, and a utopic group hellbent on their mission. And I haven’t even mentioned the wannabe reporters, disillusioned security guards, and the sprawling farm where it all takes place. Eleanor Catton’s previous novel, The Luminaries won the Booker Prize nearly ten years ago, and the plot description of her latest is such a good reminder that a great book is more than the sum of its plot. It’s all about the relationship between characters—about their strife and struggles, hopes and dreams, contradictions and complexities. So, when you learn that Catton’s latest is about a rogue gardening group in New Zealand, don’t worry about dusting off your trowel. Just sit back and fall for the tightly bound story of a young group of environmental idealists whose mission collides and conjoins with a billionaire doomsday prepper. A pacey, impossible to put down book that made me so grateful to be a reader. —Al Woodworth, Amazon Editor

A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice

“A generational cri de coeur . . . A sophisticated page-turner . . .
Birnam Wood nearly made me laugh with pleasure. The whole thing crackles . . . Greta Gerwig could film this novel, but so could Quentin Tarantino.”
―Dwight Garner, The New York Times

Birnam Wood is terrific. As a multilayered, character-driven thriller, it’s as good as it gets. Ruth Rendell would have loved it. A beautifully textured work―what a treat.”
―Stephen King

“Whooshingly enjoyable . . . A witty literary thriller about the collision between eco-idealism and staggering wealth.”
―John Powers, NPR’s Fresh Air

“Grand, chilling . . . [
Birnam Wood] grips you by the throat.”
―Lauren LeBlanc, The Boston Globe

“Gorgeous . . . [Catton is] a generational talent.”
Oprah Daily

“Kaleidoscopic . . . A gripping thriller.”
―Bill Goldstein, NBC Weekend Today in New York

“A rollicking eco-thriller that juggles a lot of heady themes with a big plot and a heedless sense of play.”
The New York Times Book Review

“A sleek contemporary thriller . . . Delicious.”
―Ron Charles, The Washington Post

“Sophisticated, stylish and searching . . . A full-on triumph from a generational talent.”
―Hamilton Cain, The Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

“Complex and often shocking . . . Profound.”
―B.D. McClay, The New Yorker

“The clash of principles with human nature is much at play in this excitingly complex novel . . . Breathtaking.”
―Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

“An eco-thriller of grand psychological and social ambitions.”
―Bethanne Patrick, Los Angeles Times

“An ecological thriller, a treatise about surveillance technology, and a lush meditation on friendship and desire.”
―Emma Alpern, Vulture

“A rare accomplishment: an intelligent and elegant thriller that is also a damn fine read.”
The Economist

“Delicious . . . At once a highly inventive spin on a morality tale and a logical interpretation of contemporary ecological doom.”
―Sloane Crosley, Departures

“[A] virtuoso performance: elaborately plotted, richly conceived, enormously readable.”
―Kevin Power, The Guardian

“Dark in both its outlook and omnipresent humor . . . A sincere interrogation of the relationship between morality and the ability to bring about positive change.”
―Lily Meyer, The Atlantic

“[A] page-turning thriller-slash-sneaky dystopian satire.”
―Patrick Rapa, The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Will have you gnawing your knuckles.”
―Lisa Allardice, The Guardian

“Part eco-thriller, part scathing social satire, and entirely unputdownable.”
―Emma Cooke, Buzzfeed
