Reviews

Publishers Weekly reviews Party Crashing by Keli Goff: “Goff proves herself a savvy political analyst, an adept cultural critic and a talented journalist culling from sources as diverse as political polls, Chris rock’s standup comedy and interview with politicians and ordinary citizens alike.”

Publishers Weekly reviews Cleopatra by Joyce Tyldesley: “This entertaining biography hits the elusive sweet spot between scholarship and readability…. Writing with an easy mastery of her subject, Tyldesley always seems to be able to lay her hands on the perfect lively detail, whether an excerpt from an obscure bureaucratic document or a description of a kind of giant robot that paraded through the streets of Alexandria pouring libations of milk from a gold bottle.”
