*** The Riddle Of The Labyrinth By Margalit Fox – Review ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/aug/11/riddle-labyrinth-margalit-fox-review>
Jessica Holland, The Observer


> The quest to crack this code has been traced by authors before, as acknowledged by Margalit Fox, an obituary writer at the <i>New York Times</i> with a masters in linguistics. Her innovation, in this well-paced "palaeographical procedural", is to place Alice Kober, a classics lecturer from a working-class family of Hungarian immigrants living in Brooklyn, at the centre of the story.

> What made these sightings different from the long history of sea monster sightings was that they came from Gloucester fishermen – those who had inherited the oldest fishing port in America, those who knew mostly every fish species off Cape Ann and when each migrated through.

Alison Hallett, Slate


> North’s campaign was very close to perfect, one that should serve as inspiration to anyone who wants to crowdfund a creative project: The concept was innovative; the reward tiers were thoughtfully designed; North communicated clearly and enthusiastically with backers at every step of the process; and the project not only delivered what was promised but improved upon the initial concept. As the book arrives in backers’ mailboxes this month, it’s worth asking: Is it a good book? Is it $580,905 good?

<http://www.latimes.com/features/books/jacketcopy/la-ca-jc-rob-sheffield-20130811,0,2906559.story>
Mikael Wood, Los Angeles Times


> Rob Sheffield is the kind of true-blue music nerd who'll pause his latest memoir — one with a subtitle promising a book about "the rituals of love & karaoke" — to address the important topic of Rod Stewart.
