Críticas:
An extraordinary debut, not only for its confident storytelling but for its nerdish familiarity with such an eclectic range of subjects . Dark, funny . jangly with secrets (Sunday Times)
A masterly tale of quiet torment (Sunday Telegraph)
Funny, inventive, surprisingly moving, hopeful (Guardian)
A chillingly mingled hit of love, need and dread (Independent)
We find a wholly new voice in Luke, in whose witty, bemused voice much of Charles Elton's brilliantly observed novel is told . Mr Toppit is miles ahead of most debut novels and makes an engrossing, moving and perceptive read. Its taut narrative and daring emotional palate shift effortlessly between the dark days of childhood, the grit of pre-digital Soho and the overexposed nonsense of contemporary L.A. It's quite a ride (The Times)
Mr Toppit is party Royal Tenenbaums-style saga of dysfunctional family . Part coming-of-age tale . and part satire on the iniquities of celebrity and hype (Observer)
Poignant and engaging (Mail on Sunday)
A cracker. Elton has an arch wit, an engaging style and a sense of invention that recalls Jonathan Coe's What a Carve Up! . You are gripped (Evening Standard)
What begins as a robust comedy evolves into a dark, ironic family drama, a coming-of-age tale and an industry satire (Daily Mail)
Elton is. going to be the Next Big Thing in darkly comic BritLit (Scotsman)

The bestselling, Richard and Judy Book Club Pick, Mr Toppit is a darkly comic, enthralling story of a family shaped by their father's literary legacy, exploring fame, fandom and long-buried secrets
When Arthur Hayman, author of The Hayseed Chronicles, dies, a bizarre chain of events conspires to make his series of children's novels world-famous. But buried deep inside the books lie secrets that begin to shake Arthur's family - his son, Luke, reluctantly immortalized as the young hero; his daughter, Rachel, for whom the books are a hole through which her life has fallen; and his enigmatic wife, Martha, who knows that secrets are best kept well-hidden. And at the heart of The Hayseed Chronicles is the mysterious Mr Toppit, who will let none of the Haymans out of his grasp.
