On 3/2/07, influential blogger Judging Crimes responded to Janet Maslin's ad hominem attack on the author of Relentless Pursuit -- a review that stands alone among all reviews issued to date about this book in any publication or by any author or blogger. "It's perhaps not really surprising," the response reads, "that Maslin, in her book-lined cocoon of privilege, is unable to understand what Flynn is writing about. But too bad that she's so nasty in her ignorance. The Washington Post's reviewer was prepared to read the book as it is, rather than the novel it isn't, and gets a lot closer to its essence."
The response by the blogger Judging Crimes concludes: "Did I mention that the book reads like a combination of Scott Turow and Alan Dershowitz, kept me reading far into the night, you won't be able to put it down, it's a roller-coaster - no, a Zipper! - of an emotional ride. Four stars! Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Don't miss it! You will never be the same. But in a good way."
