Críticas:

Extence's quick wit and smart use of dialogue, deployed throughout an eventful plot with a varied cast of distinct characters, add a degree of levity you'd find more often in a Hollywood screenplay . . . a healthy dose of Dickens . . . Extence piles on delight after delight . . . The Empathy Problem finds a way to make us smile through our tears. * Bookanista * A brilliant book about second chances in life by Gavin Extence. I am looking forward to what he is coming up with next! * Ela's Book Corner * A gripping look at an unlikeable character. * Psychologies * This book is never sentimental and Extence doesn't make the mistake of having Gabriel suddenly becoming perfect but by the end he is someone you'd have as a friend. Along the way we learn the value of honesty, love, music and loyalty. As well as the joy of perfectly aimed revenge . . . * Jane & Bex Blog * Extence's novel is an absolute triumph, once again reiterating his skill for characterisation and voice. * Nudge books * I absolutely loved this story... Extence has such a dry, witty style of writing. * Marie Claire * Witty, insightful and tender, The Empathy Problem is a triumph. I loved it. * Random things Through my Letterbox blog * It's funny, well observed and heartfelt without being sentimental... a lovely, engaging read that'll leave you resolving to change your own life for the better. * Winq magazine * Emotional porn for lefties . . . You can't put it down . . . precise and propulsive . . . a real page-turner -- Janice Forsyth show * BBC Radio Scotland * A very personal, compassionate and intimate read. Gavin Extence is fast becoming one of my favourite authors, he constantly surprises, challenges and stimulates with his barbed, so beautifully readable books. I sat up reading for most of the night, and even when I had turned the last page, I didn't want to put it down. * Lovereading.co.uk * Another stand-out book from this outstanding author -- Book of the Week * The Sun * Witty and sincere . . . very clever * Huffington Post * The Empathy Problem is delightful, written in a warm, engaging voice and composed of short chapters that rattle along . . . An accessible read but one that prompts you to think about what it means to live a moral life. It's so good it 'll leave you wanting to change your own life, to be a better person. * Independent * Extence keeps the twists and turns coming, full of mordant wit, until the bitter end. * Daily Mail *

Reseña del editor:

'You can't put it down . . . precise and propulsive . . . a real page-turner' Janice Forsyth Show, BBC Radio Scotland 'It's so good it'll leave you wanting to change your own life' Independent ****************** So far in his life, Gabriel - selfish, arrogant and happy to be so - has only ever thought about two things: money and himself. When he's diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, he doesn't see why anything should change. But as the tumour grows, something strange starts happening. Whether Gabriel likes it or not, he's becoming . . . nicer. Kinder. A better person. And then he meets Caitlin. Before, he wouldn't even have glanced at her; now he's entranced. But real change takes time - and time is something Gabriel just doesn't have. As each day brings him closer to his last, has the one opportunity for a second chance passed him by?
