The word on Elizabeth's work

I'm getting tired of the Dan Brown comparisons. She never aimed for her book to be like his; they have very different styles. But here is one I'll take - Salon.com's Laura Miller tacitly approves the high cost [of Elizabeth's advance], calling the debut "a fine Bordeaux to Dan Brown's overcaffeinated Diet Coke."

An interview with Elizabeth on National Public Radio. Listen here.

It's more fun when you're scared. =)

Check out Weblog Bookwatch, top 10: http://onfocus.com/bookwatch/

Elizabeth's 'The Historian' is on it, slightly higher than Thomas Friedman's latest book [at time of writing].

i got a copy of The Historian for my friend as a birthday present. i read the blurb and the 1st chapter - it's fascinating! i may just get a copy for myself.
