    <body><![CDATA[<br/>an amusing and lovely modernization of new grub street... aspects of this novel seemed spot on in terms of the frustrations of writing and the idiocies of corporate publishing... i was, i admit, a bit disappointed at the novel's  but it was worth the read.     ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Author Elise Blackwell pulls off a rare bird: a satire brimming with humanism. I enjoyed every line of this book, which reminded me at times of Whit Stillman’s marvelous first feature Metropolitan.<br/><br/>[http://superfastreader.com/grub-by-elise-blackwell.htm]]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm reading this book now.  So far I hate all of the characters, not sure I'm going to keep reading it.  Everyone is miserable and sad.  Not into that so much . . . . It's about a group of young people that want to become writers.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I suspect that someone in the literary or publishing business would have enjoyed this, but I failed to grasp the manner in which the book was supposed to be a parody of publishing.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A twice told tale.  I dare you to find one ugly sentence in this book.  Blackwell is a wonderful writer.  I read HUNGER and then this, now I'm on her most recent.  ]]></body>
