Kevin Wilson's excellent debut novel The Family Fang is this week's TV Book Club choice.

It's been called odd, disturbing, brilliant and hilarious, and has been likened to the films of Wes Anderson and The Coen Brothers along the way. The Family Fang is certainly a book that urges discussion.

Below are just a few snippets from the many glowing reviews the book received upon its release.

The Family Fang will feature on the TV Book Club on Sun 25 March at 7.20pm on More 4.

Strange and original and hysterically funny… It is a book like nothing else.
