Trade Review"The general reader’s ideal emissary to the arcana of serious science. . . . Roach’s writing has what science has so far failed to find: a divine spark." -- Malcolm Jones - Newsweek
"Dependably witty, especially when it ventures far into the ether. . . . [Roach] makes a clever investigator and a thoroughly entertaining, if skeptical, tour guide." -- Janet Maslin - New York Times
"Investigative reporting has no lighter, more irreverent spirit than Mary Roach. . . .
Spook is enormous fun." -- David A Walton - Pittsburgh Union-Tribune
"Surreal, fascinating, at times absurd and always hilarious, Mary Roach may not reveal the street address of our final destination, but in
Spook she makes it sound less like a morgue and more like a comedy club." -- Vince Darcangelo - Boulder Weekly
"Reading
Spook is like attending a lecture by a professor who is equal parts Groucho Marx and Stephen Jay Gould, both enlightening and entertaining." -- Dorman T. Schindler - Sunday Denver Post & Rocky Mountain News
