Amazon.com Review
Like its predecessor, another great tome to take to the beach or unwind with between chapters--your own, that is (in which case you may want to read Michael Norman's novella-length entry on The Marketing of a First Novel). As before, an eclectic range is the book's greatest strength. Scribes from Dorothy Allison to Margaret Atwood to William Goldman hold forth in the midst of lesser known pieces such as David Carkeet's "Dear Reviewer" letter, a bit of scathing but worthwhile advice to those of us who write blurbs like this.
