The book received generally positive reviews. Elissa Schappell wrote of the book in Vanity Fair , "Rarely do nonfiction books engage me so deeply and satisfyingly as Tal McThenia’s A Case for Solomon". [2] The book received a more mixed review in Kirkus Reviews , which wrote that the book was "diminished by the inability of the authors to screen out irrelevant or marginal details, making the saga difficult to follow". [3] The book was also reviewed in Publishers Weekly , [4] Library Journal , [5] Maclean's , [6] The Boston Globe [7] and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution . [8]
