Review:
"A quite brilliant reality check. Angry, erudite and accessible. I loved it." Dame Jenni Murray"A sharp, lively wake-up call to free ourselves from the illusions that we live by. Crystal clear, elegantly written and inspiring, it is all the more necessary to read Glaser's book at a time when we are increasingly pressured to imbibe phony ideology, phony science and phony ethics. Being disabused by Glaser is a great pleasure." Darian Leader"These are big ideas, laid out with precision, grace and urgency. I couldn't put it down. And this is normally the whole point of non-fiction, that you can put it down." Zoe Williams`Eliane Glaser, whose persuasive forthcoming book Get Real pleas for authenticity against the spin of politics, celebrity and the marketplace' Boyd Tonkin, Independent`In an age when journalists have, in large numbers, moved from the bullshit-detection business to the bullshit-promulgation business, it's always welcome to come upon a book that hoists its flag proudly in the first camp. Eliane Glaser's is one such.' Sam Leith, Guardian'In a world filled with bullshit, Glaser wields a shovel like Rambo wields a machine gun'. Time Out
