Press Reviews & Coverage
- »The superb combination of fact and fiction is what makes Uwe Laub’s novels so worth reading. In his informative and critical style, Laub puts his finger on the deep wound of an ignorant society that actually knows better but acts too late.«
— Thomas Gisbertz, Krimi-Couch about „DÜRRE“ - »In “Dürre”, author Uwe Laub once again combines scientific facts – this time about climate change – with fiction and vision in a nonchalantly written novel. In this manner, he makes it easy for his readers to approach this serious topic in an entertaining way, even as non-experts.«
— Sigismund von Dobschütz, novel review in German newspaper Saale-Zeitung - »Uwe Laub brilliantly manages to unite individual storylines, initially detached and independent, ever more closely into a larger whole. This promises suspense to the very last page.«
— Marc Fischer, Radio Farbenspiel about „DÜRRE“ - »A magnificent book that makes you think and stays with you for a long time. Uwe Laub is a brilliant author.«
— NextGenGamersnet.com about „DÜRRE“ - »From the extensive facts that Uwe Laub compiled during his research, he has created a captivating page-turner.«
— Janko Katzenmeier, “lack of lies” review magzine about „DÜRRE“ - »The novel offers more than just thrills and action. The mysterious pandemic is the cause of some people’s despicable behavior, but the disease itself has a completely different context. Laub repeatedly weaves the themes of climate change and overexploitation of nature into the narrative as problems that underlie everything else.«
— dpa/Deutsche Presse Agentur about „LEBEN“ (Axel Knönagel, 14.04.2020) - »Uwe Laub’s latest smash hit novel. The book about the crisis. Although the German author Uwe Laub could not possibly have foreseen the coronavirus pandemic when he wrote his novel “Leben”, the accuracy of the publication is nevertheless astonishing and almost forces a comparison between fiction and reality.«
— Luxemburger Tageblatt (25.04.2020) - »Definitely worth reading!«
— „LEBEN“ Novel recommendation and interview in “Hallo München” (Hello Munich) (18. 04.2020) - »Uwe Laub once again did a really good job here.«
