With newspapers cutting back on their book review sections, much of the best feedback on Family of Secrets is coming from personal blogs.

At Blog4Brains.com, Stan Nodvik reviews the book, calling it “a must-read for those interested in preserving our democracy and its history.” The website Strangely Blogged calls Baker’s book “a useful read, especially for those who have not looked hard at the Bushes before.” And Undernews, the blog of The Progressive Review, says that “as we say goodbye to George Bush (at least until some prosecutor files charges against him), there is no better way to observe the occasion than to read Russ Baker’s new book, Family of Secrets.”
