 The Goreletter: NOT DEAD YET: PRINT REVIEWS Archives
As they note in the book's postscript, this project "served as something to take our minds off of mold-covered walls and ceilings collapsed...something on which to focus, a goal, a signpost, a destination." This passion is evident everywhere in the book, and if it was their destination, then, well, they've certainly arrived!
The book is divided into chapters with titles like "What a Way to Go!" and "Bones, Brains and Body Parts" which catalog the extreme lengths that "civilized" cultures have gone to in order to exact punishment, cruelty and revenge.
The book manages to enormously succeed despite this weakness in variety, and overall, it's okay, I think, that The Devil's Wine pretends to be nothing more than a respectful and charming novelty that gives us a glimpse into the more lyrical side of today's best novelists.

 QuintZine: A Career and Job-Hunting Newsletter
Gurney's book was a real eye-opener for me. I had always advised job-seekers not to be overly dependent on working with headhunters because headhunters work for employers, not job-seekers, and may not have the job-seeker's best interests at heart.
While the headhunter's first loyalty is to the employer who hired him or her, a headhunter can be a valuable ally to the job-seeker, as Gurney comprehensively explains in a volume that should be must-reading for any job-seeker who wants to add a powerful dimension to the search for a new job.
But Melancon's book should more properly be called "Not-So-Secret Things I've Learned about Job-Hunting as a Result of Being in the Executive Search Business." Unlike Gurney, who focuses on how to take advantage of working with a headhunter, Melancon barely touches on cultivating relationships with headhunters, recruiters, and executive-search professionals.
