Industry Reviews
"By the time you are finished, you are prepared to bestow on Alfred Lee Loomis the title of Most Interesting Man I Never Knew Anything About....Loomis and Conant are just right for each other. She has a fluid writing style, though the book's jaunty pace slows at times."
New York Times Book Review - Alex Beam (06/16/2002)

"[A] brisk, entertaining biography...."
New Yorker (06/10/2002)
