“Reading The Brandon Book Crisis often made me laugh, and I was sometimes surprised, in anticipation, to experience feelings of certain, 'business-as usual' emails being 'ominous'. This 'fast-paced', confusing, and funny new 'reality novel' offers 'insight' into Muumuu House, its affiliates, and the book publishing process. I recommend it highly.” - Brandon Scott Gorrell, author of DURING MY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I WANT TO HAVE A BIOGRAPHER PRESENT

"Innovative in its approach, devastating in its revelations, and ultimately moving in its [something], The Brandon Book Crisis made me feel like I was finally reading what I wanted to read: unedited Gmail chats and emails between people I know and like in book form, focusing on people and things that I know and like within a context I’ve literally experienced and view as ‘memorable’ and ‘interesting.’ " - Tao Lin, author of EEEEE EEE EEEE
