  Fun story about a pair of twins in a crime family (cons, thievery, murder, terrorism links), with lots of unreliable narration and unreliable behaviour plus social satire. Terrific writing, though the plot is rather baggy not to say rambly.

  La Stamberga dei Lettori

  Se lo avessi letto qualche mese fa avrei potuto definirlo un piacevole libro "da ombrellone", visto che siamo a dicembre però non trovo una definizione natalizia equivalente. Tutto questo per dire che I ladri dagli occhi verdi è un libro piacevole, scritto bene, che scivola via facilmente. La trama non è tra le più originali: è la storia di due gemelli identici "entrambi marci allo stesso modo", a detta del loro padre, uno dei quali ha pretese letterario-filosofiche e si fa narratore delle loro avventure.

  Brilliantly South African!
  
  Enjoy a book which is what South African novels should be. Quirky, funny, poignant. Interesting stories about ordinary characters made extraordinary by the skill of the writer.
  
  The poetic voice of the author seduces you from the opening page.
  
  How does Firoze get into that jail cell? Go on a journey from South Africa to the Middle East to the USA. Enjoy the ride.
  
  And Best of all - It's Just A Book! (no deep messages slapped in your face)
  5/5

  I'm still mulling this one over. It is definitely worth reading.
  
  If you are affiliated with a university, get it through ILL. If not, then consider ordering it through the publisher.

  coovadia has a unique voice, kind of noirish, mostly funny, and very dysfunctional.

  Not quite as good as the wedding by the same author but still appreciate the ability to capture a time and moment in Indian Johannesburg
