I run into this in my work life - colleagues ask me to review their books thinking that because we know each other I'll be positive, or they ask for a blurb. I certainly won't write an untrue blurb. I'm struggling right now with a review, written my an influential man in my community and a related field - but he chose to write a book in my area of expertise and he doesn't know what he's talking about. I am working up the courage to send him an advance copy of a bad review. I'm committed to publishing a review, and besides I need to warn a local college to stop using this book in a course.
