"Thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny."—New York Times Book Review
"Ingenious, satirical, extremely funny...Mr. Waugh's ribald wit spurts in a brisk unininterrupted flow upon the caprices of sensational journalism. Scoop is entertaining reading all through, with more than a single good laugh or chuckle to the page."—Times Literary Supplement
"Urban malice as bright and sharp as tin; it is not only delightful but true."—Otis Ferguson, The New Republic
"A brilliant, accomplished novel...fast, furious, and hilarious."—Terence Holliday, Saturday Review
