New York Times Book Review

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
― Mark Twain

The New York Times Bestsellers List is the traditional measure of success for any book, author or publisher.  Likewise to have one's book reviewed and mention by The New York Times means the book has made it to the "big time."  Please visit the current New York Times Sunday Book Review page and select a book review to read.  Then, in at least a paragraph, tell me who is the reviewer? Was it a favorable or unfavorable review (did they like it or not)? Finally, simply summarize the review.
