Reception
[edit]The book received generally positive reviews. Elissa Schappell wrote of the book in Vanity Fair, "Rarely do nonfiction books engage me so deeply and satisfyingly as Tal McThenia’s A Case for Solomon".[2] The book received a more mixed review in Kirkus Reviews, which wrote that the book was "diminished by the inability of the authors to screen out irrelevant or marginal details, making the saga difficult to follow".[3] The book was also reviewed in Publishers Weekly,[4] Library Journal,[5] Maclean's,[6] The Boston Globe[7] and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[8]
