"A nice book for the bedside table--my copy is already getting dog- eared...The most scathing, inflammatory, hilarious and (fill in the blank) commentaries on life in all its manifestations." Forbes Magazine, 6/2/11 "[O]ne of those books that you plan to devote five minutes to but end up burning two hours. It's a perfect summer read--you can pick it up and put it down as you quaff martinis and roll around the beach like Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity. " The Economist, 6/1/11 "[T]his book is a gleeful array of biting quips, twisty barbs and some disarmingly well-turned phrases....the book is amusing, and a poignant reminder of the man's rare talents." Buffalo News, 5/29/11 "[S]plendiferous compendium of Hitchens." Washington Times, 5/24/11 "At first glance, the book reminds one of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations , but this volume is something more personal, more outre and more funny. Smartly organized by subject, it is a book to be enjoyed both as a long visit with the incomparable social critic and as a quick reference.", Los Angeles Times, 5/22/11 "A collection of gem-like insights pared from the public intellectual and author's many books and other writings." New Statesman, 5/23/11 "It often seems as if Christopher Hitchens has spent his life writing and speaking with a collection such as this in mind." PopMatters.com, 6/12/11 "Over 300 pages of...verbal gold...Anyone interested in the art of turning a good phrase in the English language will want to give this volume a look." American Thinker, 6/13/11 "It's a stimulant to the mind and a tonic to the spirit. Anthony Weiner should read it...while in rehab." , "A nice book for the bedside table--my copy is already getting dog- eared...The most scathing, inflammatory, hilarious and (fill in the blank) commentaries on life in all its manifestations."

Times Literary Supplement , UK, 3/18/11 "Without troubling to do the research, you could safely say that Hitchens, formerly the TLS's American correspondent, has a view on everything. Now you can do the research." Kirkus Reviews , 5/10/11 "The most memorable of Hitchens' work in an alphabetized guide to all things Hitch." New York Journal of Books , 5/10/11 "The book is great fun, whether sampled by dipping in or swallowed whole and digested slowly, as a snake might do... The Quotable Hitchens is and will remain an excellent means by which those of us who have long valued his work can celebrate it at a moment's notice and those new to his work now have a new source of material for their Facebook Page or for emblazoning on T-shirts."
