Reception
Dave Pringle reviewed 'The Last Gasp' for 'Imagine' magazine, and stated that "If one could carry this fairly conventional bestseller back 130 years in a time machine and give it to Mr Dickens to read, one suspects it would be utterly beyond his comprehension. The world has moved on, and the hard times have changed indeed."
