" I felt the same way about the editor! It read like a third draft. "
Lori Duff and 30 other people liked Kelly Goodwin's review of The Calamity Club:
The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
"3.5 ⭐️ Really enjoyed a lot about this book, but a shame that an editor apparently wasn’t ever in the same room as it. 200 pages less and would have easily been a 5 ⭐️ read. "
Lori Duff and 21 other people liked Caitlin Whetten's review of The Calamity Club:
The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
"For some reason, the book summary really buries the lede on what this book is about. It's about a group of women who start a brothel to raise money. That's the book, and for some reason, the publisher went with the most generic nothing-burger of a su" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Lori B. Duff  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The satisfaction of a balanced general ledger made her smile. Life was messy. Accounting was not.”
Lori B. Duff, Devil's Defense: A Fischer at Law Novel

“Even the vegetables weren’t vegetarian, having spent the better part of a day boiling in a bath of fatback. Still, as long as you didn’t mind your meat breaded and crisp and you kept the whole thing a secret from your cardiologist, it all was delicious.”
Lori B. Duff, Devil's Defense: A Fischer at Law Novel

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
Neil Gaiman

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
Carl Sagan

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Elizabeth Appell

“Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.”
Clare Boothe Luce

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
