Book review in New Statesman

New Statesman, a magazine in the UK that seems somewhat akin to The Nation (i.e. old, venerable, and with an unabashedly liberal perspective on politics and culture), has weighed in on FAKE: Forgery, Lies, & eBay. This is a rather lukewarm opinion of the book. Although the reviewer seemed to think the book was interesting, and called it "gripping," he also thought I was "far from a natural storyteller," and said the book's "moralising often gets in the way of a good story."

Okay. I'll take it. The natural storyteller part did sting a bit, and it's very different than what others have been saying.
