Multiple writers and journalists posted comparisons between previous texts and that of Abramson's book, which they presented as plagiarized. She responded by saying that she did not think plagiarism was an issue in her book.^[2]

However, in an interview with NPR's Michel Martin, Abramson admited she "fell short" in attributing her sources for some passages of the book.^[3]

Reception

The review aggregator website Book Marks reported that, out of a sample of 17 reviews, 5 critics gave the book a "rave" review, 8 critics expressed "positive" impressions, and 3 expressed "mixed" impressions, and 1 of the critics "panned" the book.^[4]

Commercial reception of the book has been poor, due in part to the plagiarism controversy, with fewer than 3,000 copies being sold in its first week, according to BookScan.^[5]
