My "Age of Obama: A Reporter's Journey" book tour has been very busy with five appearances in the past week. There are also three new reviews posted this week on www.Amazon.com. If you know a group that might like to have me as a guest speaker, with a book signing included, please email me. Here are the latest reviews!

5 out of 5 stars - "A Must Read" June 30, 2009
Sharon F. Svitak (Dublin, CA, USA)
"Mark Curtis has taken a complicated subject and in readable fashion made it understandable. Along the way he has told intriguing stories about the people he met during his travels - politicians and main street Americans. I finally understand some of the things I was most confused about during the campaigns. His astute understanding of the candidates makes him a first class political analyst."

5 out of 5 stars - "A great read" - June 30, 2009
J. Schindler
"Curtis gives us a view of the campaign that one probably could not find anywhere else. This is not an "insider" book written by campaign staffers with their own agenda, but rather a panoramic view of the entire race. Curtis melds his own observations of the candidates at campaign stops with "man on the street" interviews and discussions with political analysts into an entertaining and informative overview.
This book is a must read for anyone interested in the political dynamics that shaped this historic election."

5 out of 5 stars "Remarkable man and book." June 28, 2009

"Mark has done an outstanding job as a one-man operation following the complex issues and individual candidates and would be candidates. In person he is quick and perceptive, and his memory is also amazing.

He remembered the details of my book we talked about months ago, "A Brooklyn Odyssey," stories of my growing up, by Albert Rothman"
