You know, I was wondering about all those stupid Marcus Finch posts. Thankfully I only follow one blog that participated and skipped over those posts. I just can't imagine a spammy promotion like that did the book any favors. It certainly didn't seem to generate interest in the book except maybe among people that were planning to buy it anyway.
