On Blonde Like Me:

"Mix one part Robert Graves, one part Fran Lebowitz, and one part peroxide, and you get this scholarly, slyly funny, and deliciously readable exploration of the ultimate meaning of blondeness."

--Judith Viorst

On Chasing the Perfect:

"An exciting gem of a book full of existential insights."

— Kalle Lasn

"I hate that book. I hate it because it makes me doubt. It leaves me pondering on a profession I've devoted time and effort to (although that might just be my mid-degree crisis). I hate it because it's telling me the truth when I just want to put on earmuffs and scream "LALALALALALALA". I hate it because it scares the shit out of me."

--Vincent Archambault's blog, January 2008
