'Events unfold, as in a detective story, or as voices in a fugue. No, I won’t deprive you from the pleasure of unfolding yourselves in hot pursuit of these events and then becoming whole again (as voices become whole in an exhilarating counterpoint).'

Tõnu Õnnepalu, Päevaleht - The Estonian Daily

'Literary talent is obviously a great thing, but if one does not add this up with one’s firsthand life experiences, and with one’s own philosophy resulting from these experiences, the story will ever only be something that is an interesting read to some extent, but that does not knock you down or shake you up or make you die of laughter. Well, Petty God does all these things.'

Berit Selberg, Sirp – Leading Estonian culture magazine
