"Quakeland takes a number of risks. Some are stylistic, some structural, some tied up in character and content. For its characters, for Katrina’s story, Quakeland is not to be missed." ~ San Francisco Chronicle
"Quakeland is ultimately a novel about the prevailing spirit of female love." ~ ForeWord magazine
"Readers who enjoy metafiction or other experimental works will appreciate the liberties Block takes with narrative voice and marvel at her interpolation of dreams, reality, fact, and fiction." ~ Library Journal
