Selected Reviews
What glorious chaos! Kino by Jurgen Fauth is the most enjoyable book I’ve read this year. It’s a wild, caroming romp that crashes into German history, Nazi mind control, American pop culture decadence and modern cinema snobbery. The crazy plot soars from beginning to end. – Levi Asher, LitKicks
Jurgen Fauth took on a very complex project with his debut novel and it works amazingly well. – Popcorn Reads

Fauth has written a novel crowded with ideas. Kino challenged me all the way to its final, fabulous last sentence. It is absolutely flawless. - Tara Olmsted, booksexyreview.com
Fauth effectively brings forth a variety of worlds in the novel without slackening the pace of the frantic chase that summons them in the first place. - Michael Stine, Readux

Kino by Jurgen Fauth will knock you on your ass, especially if you’re a film buff. - BookRiot
