Reviews

“[E]xcellent…[an] evenhanded portrayal of a flawed subject.” —Booklist “Lawson thoughtfully explores corruption in this excellent book. His evenhanded portrayal of a flawed subject illustrates how Blazer functioned as just one of many operators in an unprincipled environment in which rampant exploitation of youth is enabled.” —Kirkus Reviews Praise for Guy Lawson Octopus “Lawson has found gold…a fantastic story, in both senses of the word, with a freshness that recalls Liar’s Poker.” —The New York Times “I was riveted by Mr. Lawson’s telling…The story is mind-boggling.” —Andrew Sorkin, The New York Times (DealBook) “Lawson’s reporting is prodigious.” —Fortune “Brings to life one of the most colorful, and often engaging, con men of this or any other century…an entertaining, well-told tale.” —The Washington Times “Lawson nimbly traverses the labyrinthine depths…a harrowing thrill ride into the unraveling mind of a desperate operator.” —Kirkus Reviews Arms and the Dudes “The reporting is incredible.” —MSNBC’s The Cycle “Guy Lawson has done a miraculous job…a glorious piece of investigative journalism.” —Florida Weekly “Lawson’s eye for detail and extensive research are commendable.” —Publishers Weekly
