"Magical... Brims with a fierce poignancy that makes the book very difficult to put down."--"Publishers Weekly"
"A bright and busy prose style...Christie does a yeoman's job of depicting the dynamics of the parent-child relationship and the thrills of skateboarding...The novel is at its best in its complex portrayal of mental illness."--"Booklist"
"This is a bruiser of a tale, one you will feel in your shins and your solar plexus. Michael Christie is a virtuosic prose stylist and boy is he so very wise and so funny on families and friendships, fear and joy, and the physics of sky and pavement. "If I Fall, I Die" is a death-defying coming of age story; it's also as weird and as convincing a love story as I have ever read. And so beautifully told that you'll want to pass it on immediately." --Karen Russell
"An astonishing piece of work. Christie combines lyrical prose and true-to-life characters--and skateboarding--to craft a remarkable tale of mothers and sons, and what it means to grow up." --Philipp Meyer
"Reading "If I Fall, If I Die" is like hopping on a skateboard and grabbing hold of the bumper of an accelerating car. Christie's prose pulls you on a ride through the winding streets of phobia, family, and friendship at such a clip you won't dare let go."--David Gilbert
"Rarely has the tender claustrophobia of the mother-son dynamic, the raw humanity of mental illness, or the delicate, dangerous process of growing up been rendered with such heart and sensitivity. "If I Fall, If I Die" mines the fundamental dilemmas of both childhood and parenthood to sublime effect. I can't recall a funnier, truer or more beautiful debut." - Patrick DeWitt

"Deftly written. . . . Christie's fine novel is really a kind of spiritual cousin of Paul Harding's "Tinkers" as a study of people who are in this world but not quite of it. . . . Altogether brilliant." "--Kirkus" (starred)

" This exceptional debut novel is a warm, often funny dramatisation of the balance between anxious love and worthwhile risk. --"Sunday Times"(UK)
There is a fairy-tale quality to the story, which reads as an allegory of the rampant anxiety of the modern age. Will s voice is engaging and likeable, drawing us into the magic and horror of his world. . . .

A master of his environment, Christie is also deft at inhabiting the mind of a child in his writing powerful and page-turning A first novel that is complex, symbolic and a little bit wondrous. --"Sunday Business Post" (UK)"
