Got this for its subjects, liked it well enough, but at 335 pages, found it long for its lightness. ( )

Didn't like it when I read it the first time -- why did they reissue it? ( )

(Adding this to my library now though I read it some time ago--this title just now showed up as a recommendation and I want to confirm that yes, it's a good recommendation. ;-) ( )

Blind Submission is an exciting romp through the world of publishing. A little bit fun, a little bit creepy . . . one unexpected twist after another. The suspense is genuine. You should read it for the vicarious thrill. ( )

Oh the pleasure of a book that takes you completely by surprise. You go in with few expectations and come out with much more than you bargained for. Blind Submission is just such a book. I hadn't heard much about it and picked it up because it looked light and fun. It made good on the those counts, but it was also funny and suspenseful, with quirky characters and many plot twists and turns. Plus, it takes place in a literary agency, so there is much juicy goodness about the publishing world. It's been called "The Devil Wears Prada" of the literati. I would agree, but with one exception - it's actually good. And it has a plot. So, a fun, amusing page-turner set in the book world - call me happy. ( )

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307346382, Paperback)

Books can be a dangerous business . . .

Angel Robinson loves books, loves reading, loves anything to do with the written word. But when Blue Moon Books, the Bay Area bookstore where she has worked since college, is squeezed out of business, Angel is forced to find a new job. She lucks into a position as the assistant to the world-renowned literary agent Lucy Fiamma.

Angel soon learns that working for Lucy is no picnic. The agent has a blockbuster ego to match her blockbuster success and Angel must juggle both her boss’s prima donna demands and the strange quirks of her authors. But Angel soon becomes indispensible to the agency and develops a keen understanding of big projects and the writers who create them.

What she doesn’t realize is just how far one of them will go to get published.

One day, a chapter from a mysterious manuscript by an anonymous author arrives at the office. Set in a New York literary agency, the novel, titled Blind Submission, centers on the ambitious assistant to a successful literary agent. Angel is pulled in by the plot—but her initial curiosity soon turns to panic. As the story unfolds—with chapters e-mailed in one by one—it becomes clear that the mystery author is writing the story of Angel’s own life, including secrets she thought were deeply hidden. Someone is watching her, even plotting against her. Could it be her backstabbing coworker, her jealous boyfriend, or her seductive new client?

When the novel’s plot turns to murder, Angel knows that if she doesn’t discover the author’s identity before the final chapter is written, more than just her career will be cut short.
