Jeffrey St. Clair in CounterPunch described it as "vividly written satire, infused with a ribald sense of humor and an unsparing critique of the incendiary political cauldron of the Mideast" which criticises what it describes as "the commercialization of the Holocaust, suggesting that such uses amount to a trivialisation of one of history’s greatest horrors" and "argues that the Holocaust is invoked as a kind of reflexive propaganda designed to shield the Zionist state from responsibility for any transgression against Palestinians".[5] Matthew J. Reisz for The Independent wrote that "As a viciously black satire on Israeli life" the book "is grandiose, childish and nasty, but with just enough connection with reality to give it a certain unsettling power"[6] while Darren King in The Observer commented that "it works because Atzmon writes with so much style and his gags are so hilarious".[7]
