Which is a greater dread?
Having to write one or decoding it as a potential customer/reader?

I hate ones that compare to other books that are not at all similar, or have massive spoilers or where you think after reading the book that the Blurb writer was thinking of a different book.

I'd imagine this guy could write better blurbs than most!

Edit:
Warning, the Guardian article is actually marketing a book. Almost all Guardian articles on gadgets, books or movies are actually marketing and ought to be marked "Advertisement".
