New York Times : Let’s Get Lost (June 24, 2007)

The book is an unapologetic ode to self-defeat, a loose collection of deadpan cataclysms in which the most heartening episode revolves around the rescue of an undernourished dog. Its charm is unassuming, and a little clumsy at the outset, but Vlautin’s novel rewards the patient. At times its appeal is irresistible.
