“LIPPITT HAS CREATED A WORLD SITUATED BETWEEN THE ROAD, MAD MAX AND A BOY AND HIS DOG WHERE, DESPITE THE DISSOLUTION OF SOCIETAL CONVENTION, THERE’S STILL ROOM FOR A PUNK ATTITUDE.” 

​— Ryan Cooper, About.com: New York Times 

​“DICKENS, CHAUCER, ORWELL, BRILLIANT AND VISCERAL AS ANYTHING WHICH HAS GONE BEFORE IT. LIPPITT HAS CREATED SOMETHING SO FRESH THAT IT IS A RATHER EXCLUSIVE GENRE; THE PUNK ROCK NOVEL!"
​
​— Amy Britton, Repeat Magazine​

​“THIS NOVEL IS NOT ONLY WELL WRITTEN, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SIT NEXT TO CLASSICS LIKE '1984' AND 'ANIMAL FARM. DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE TIMID.''
​
​– Michael Essington, author of Last One To Die​

"THIS WAS ONE BOOK I WAS GLUED TO AND JUST COULD NOT PUT DOWN... IT WOULD ONLY MAKE SENSE TO SEE F.T.W. BE MADE INTO A MOVIE. LIPPITT'S WRITING STYLE SURELY PAINTED CLEAR IMAGES IN MY MIND TO THE POINT THAT I WANTED TO SEE THIS TAKEN TO THE SCREEN. THE STORY WAS ORIGINAL AND FULL OF ACTION, VIOLENCE, AND EVEN STRAIGHT UP COMEDY. HONESTLY, HOLLYWOOD MIGHT DO THEMSELVES A FAVOR BY PICKING THIS UP ONE DAY. TRUST ME ON THAT!"

​— Brian McConville, Brokenheadphones

“PHILIP K. DICK FOR OUR MODERN PUNK AGE. SCARY GOOD AND A GREAT READ!” 

​— Dave Dictor, MDC​ 

“LIPPITT KNOWS HOW TO INTRIGUE HIS READER AND THE STORY JUST SUCKS YOU IN. A TRUE UNDERGROUND AUTHOR, A VOICE OF THE VOICELESS WITH A STREETWISE ATTITUDE, MIXED WITH THE HOPELESSNESS AND ANGER OF THE YOUTH. F.T.W. IS A HARSH REALITY THAT HITS YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE.” 

​— Tim, Anti-Hippie Fanzine​
"WHAT MAKES THE STORY ORIGINAL IS THAT IT'S A PERFECT POLITICAL SCENARIO UNFORESEEN BY ABSOLUTELY NO-ONE. F.T.W. IS '1984' FOR 2020. AWESOME AND PROPHETIC!"

– James Merendino, (Director) SLC Punk
"I HAD TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES AND JUST TAKE A MINUTE FOR MY STOMACH TO SETTLE. THE VIOLENCE AND GORE IS DESCRIBED SO INTENSELY THAT IT DID CHURN MY STOMACH. THE HORRORS OF WAR WERE NOT SKIPPED OVER. IT WAS CHILLING! THE DETAILS ARE WHERE LIPPITT EXCELS... MOST DYSTOPIANS AT THIS POINT FEEL LIKE COOKIE CUTTER STORIES AND ARE SO EASILY GUESSED BASED ON FORMULA. THAT FORMULA JUST DOESN'T EXIST IN THIS BOOK. IT IS THE FIRST DYSTOPIAN I HAVE READ IN YEARS THAT IS TRULY UNIQUE."

– Isaiah Roby, MI Book Reviews
