'Crazy' Author reviews Fire Someone Today
Barry Moltz, author of You Need to Be a Little Crazy, was kind enough to review Fire Someone Today on his blog and to call it “a must read for every entrepreneur.”
Barry writes and speaks on entrepreneurship, and has one of the best author/speaker web sites I have seen. When I contacted him last year for some advice on launching and promoting FST, Barry took the time to talk with me, generously answering my questions and sharing his experiences. I would encourage you to check out his book and site.

Hmm.. I should mention that I was sold (at first) on picking up (or seeking out) Barry's book, until noticing that he, in turn, reviewed your book and gave praise. Now, I'm all for networking and exposing good things, but is it a conflict of interest of you both review the other's book & pat each other on the back?
I guess I'd simply like to see second reviews before moving forward. Any others? Your thoughts?

Hey Jonathan, much like a dentist recommending an orthodontist or a roofer recommending a drywall guy and vice versa, the publishing world is no different.
Whether it's a painful root canal, leaky roof, or utterly boring read, a recommendation no matter what industry you're in can potentially back fire on the recommending party. So just like any business, (most) authors don't blindly endorse whoever is endorsing them, FWIW.
