Adventures in bad blurbing.

On The Clothes on Their Backs, Linda Grant:

"Vividly written, she has created a world of characters that literally spring off the page as if they were alive." (Michael Korda)

I don't recommend opening this one without eye protection.

On Ten Degrees of Reckoning, Hester Rumberg:

"To people who say, 'I can't read such a sad story,' I say only: You must. You must learn about and celebrate Annie and Ben and Mike so that they may be remembered. You must marvel at Judy's bravery, her resilience, her will. You must repeat their story to others, so that what befell them doesn't happen again. Read Ten Degrees of Reckoning. You must." (Ann Hood)

Oh yeah? YOU CAN'T MAKE ME, LADY.
