Kirkus Reviews: "A masterful storyteller"

Kirkus Reviews calls The Museum of Lies "A funny, dark, and deeply human novel about what shapes us as human beings. "Leaping back and forth between childhood traumas and the yo-yo dieting and personal humiliations of his adulthood, Hunt’s novel follows Cary’s unlikely journey toward self-understanding via recovered memory therapy—though whether the memories he ends up recovering are true (and what they might mean for his sense of himself) is not so cut and dried. The writing is as psychologically acute as it is funny ..." "Hunt is a masterful storyteller, escalating his protagonist’s misadventures to the point of farcical truth.

Book Review: Globe and Mail

The Globe and Mail’s 8th annual selection of the 100 best and most influential books of 2005 CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS The Politics of Bones: Dr. Owens Wiwa and the Struggle for Nigeria's Oil By J. Timothy Hunt McClelland & Stewart, 389 pages, $36.99 This is a skillfully written book with many strands: the politics of development in an oil-rich nation; the local practices of large multinational companies; the colourful but often violent recent history of Africa's most populous nation; and a story of personal tragedy, flight and survival. The book focuses on Owens Wiwa and his wife, Diana. Wiwa was the brother of Ken Saro-Wiwa, charismatic leader of the Ogoni people, hanged by Sani Abacha's regime in 1995 on murky charges of political murder. — David M. Malone.
