Review

"I Tweet, Therefore I Am is not only a paean (not pain) to Twitter, but to mystery and time-travel stories as well, bringing us: twisted palindromes; just desserts spelt or spelled backwards; meditations on "dreeting" or "tweaming" which happens when sleep tweeting; and not just Farley but also Stuart Granger (stranger than true but true). And there are lots of memorable music references, too, including "Torn Between Two Lovers," one of my all-time favorite lame songs.
But there's nothing lame about I Tweet, Therefore I Am. Read and enjoy, and do keep in mind its injunction that 'though reality is not copy protected, fair-use stipulations do apply.'"
-Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates, Loose Ends, and Ian's Ions and Eons.

"The genre of Twitstery, established by Robert Blechman in his Executive Severance, turns to Phantwitsmagoria in the final book of his trilogy, I Tweet, Therefore I Am. A detective story written in tweets takes readers into a crazy voyage to a mystic Caribbean island, somewhat reminiscent of H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau with an odd campus on it. This is most likely the only detective novel in the world, literally (oh, yes, twitterally) stuffed with Marshall McLuhan quotes. Adepts will appreciate the play of allusions, while detective novel fans will just enjoy the story full of irony and witty puns."
-Andrey Miroshnichenko, author of Human as Media: The Emancipation of Authorship
