Fails WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG. Only significant coverage I can find is a Kirkus review. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 17:43, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The Christian Science Monitor and Los Angeles Times are blurbed on the back cover of the paperback, so those reviews exist in some capacity. Caro7200 (talk) 18:06, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The way I understand it, WP:BOOKCRIT excludes the blurbs written on the jacket cover because those aren't independent enough. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 04:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that may mean blurbs from other authors, celebrities, etc.? Critical blurbs are taken from printed reviews (in this case). I'm not suggesting that a book with a blurb should be the cited source, just that those blurbs originated in RS. Caro7200 (talk) 14:46, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment there's a brief review here, one here Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 16:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there's three reviews with my two above and the one provided by the nom. I also clipped the LA Times review mentioned by Caro7200 from newspapers.com, another one here, partial review here, and some more from Newspapers.com. That's a clear NBOOK pass imo.
