PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewBilott skillfully tells the story of his epic battle with DuPont and its lawyers ... Bilott is an engaging narrator who breaks our hearts with tales of clients suffering excruciating ailments and amazes us with endless 14-hour days scouring technical reports in search of that one clue that might help him make his case. The naïve corporate defense attorney we meet at the book’s start is gone by the end, and he seems no longer surprised when he realizes that regulators, including the Environmental Protection Agency, are in DuPont’s pocket.

RaveBookforum (Print Only)[T]he result of [Desmond's] odyssey among members of the down-and-out renter class is a terrific new book, Evicted, an intimate and beautiful work as poignant as it is insightful...Often you hear that an author writes well for an academic, as if he were being graded on a curve. But Desmond is a good writer, period. His prose is vivid and energetic; his physical descriptions can be small gems.
