“Renberg’s novels are of international excellence … See You Tomorrow is a wild, compassionate first rate thriller … At the same time, the second volume, Attack from All Sides, is published in Norwegian, and it is just as good … The grandeur of Renberg’s project is the concentration, the condensation, the absolute absence of coincidence … The penmanship, the personification and the abundantly idiomatic dialogue makes See You Tomorrow and Attack from All Sides into brilliantly realistic prose, not just within Scandinavia, but in the international elite”
Sydsvenskan, Sweden (Review of See You Tomorrow and Attack from All Sides)

“Tremendous desire to tell stories, colourful characters, humour and everyday philosophy. But there is something more here. Attack from All Sides is a political manifesto against the growing amount of nouveau rich in Norway … He tells the story with a warmth unequaled in Norwegian literature … And most importantly, it is never ever dull. Attack from All Sides is simply one of Renberg’s best novels”
Klassekampen

“Wonderful mixture of tragicomedy, deadly seriousness and crime. Renberg has understood some of the purpose of writing fiction; entertaining the reader. In Renberg’s second volume of the Teksas series, we are enthused from page one. This year’s novel focuses more on the most interesting characters in the milieu around the Hillevåg gang … we wait in suspense for the last volume of the trilogy next year”
6/6 stars, Trønder-Avisa

“Exceptionally well-written sequel … the momentum, the language and the joy of storytelling of its predecessor are intact … Attack from All Sides is a formidable cornucopia of absurd stories and unexpected angles … It is not at all hard to imagine this book and the last as a sort of Norwegian HBO series, but on the other hand, it could hardly get better than the books. May the next volume arrive shortly!”
 5/6 stars, Moss Avis

“Jeez, what a book! … We know a lot of the characters from last year’s masterly novel See You Tomorrow. But the most powerful thing is probably the depiction of the brothers Ben and Rikki, and their relationship … The book is Renbergian funny, gripping and engaging, filled with warmth and humanity in the description of an almost inhumane milieu”
6/6 stars, Fædrelandsvennen

“He still peppers his readers with hailstorms of leaden problems and glowing metaphors, and sits tight in his saddle where other authors would have been thrown off their hobby horses before they could get through the first chapter … The language is a brilliant thicket of local slang, […] crushed songs and movie lines. Many visual and burlesque scenes are an unwrapped gift to any director … Jeez, Renberg – I’ll have another serving”
5/6 stars, VG

“Excellent about the dark side of Stavanger … It still bubbles with the author’s joy of storytelling, and it still sizzles with the main characters’ passions, desires and dreams. Colourful characters in a social milieu with a peculiar moral code are depicted with warmth and humour, but not without edge or lash … an unusually well-composed commune novel … Renberg’s readers have good hours waiting for them in their reader’s corner”
Stavanger Aftenblad

“catchy, funny, moving, improbable, messy, well-composed and entertaining. Renberg is transmitting on many frequencies … Attack from All Sides is a tremendous story of an unlikely colourful cast of characters who do their best to surprise the reader time and again. This is great fun!”
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation P2

“Renberg continues his tremendous journey through Stavanger’s pitch black criminal circles … Renberg has an impressively apt linguistic range … Like its predecessor, Attack from All Sides is a page turner.”
Dagbladet

“A successful sequel from Renberg. The second volume about the crooked group from Hillevåg presents an abundance of great characters … The first two volumes of the “Teksas” series have many common features, but finding a character as complex as Ben is news. As I understand it, Renberg has more volumes planned, and one can only look forward to the follow-up.”
Bergens Tidende

“Renberg’s ballad of the oil-country of Norway viewed from a place of moral decline has a steady momentum and glow. The ability to move on is simply great in the so-called “Teksas” series. With tremendous pace and linguistic vitality, Renberg has played his way up several divisions, like a John Arne Riise of literature. The predecessor See You Tomorrow was recently launched in the UK.
Attack from All Sides is a novel that stretches in all directions, but most of all, it moves forward at great speed … Renberg’s novel is great entertainment that brings about chuckles.”
