Very timely. I'm trying to write the blurb for my first book now - well, rewrite it, I've made several attempts over the last two years since I completed the first draft. I know it must be brief (which is always hard for me). I know it should entice the reader. But none of that gets me very far.
What I like about this example above is that it shows something of the nature of the book simply in the way it is presented, I find that intriguing. I can't really think how I can apply that in my own case, but it's definitely interesting.
Mr Ploppy: FWIW I like the blurb. Without reading the book I won't know if it's an accurate portrayal, but it definitely seems to give a strong impression of what I might expect if I did read it.
