“Sergei Arno’s prose is the dream of any modern prose writer. She is at the same time sharp, captivating, full of humor and action.

At the same time, Sergey Arno’s prose is real literature for a discerning reader with good taste. In Western literature, such a combination of properties could Mark Twain, Stephen King, Chesterton, Edgar Poe, Balzac, Robert Sheckley and even very few literary giants. "

- Poet, writer Vladimir Uflyand

It was not by chance that he became one of the first laureates of the Nikolai Gogol Prize ”.

- Chairman of the Writers' Union of St. Petersburg Valery Popov
