Rant! Amazon "book reviews"

[Jonny]

I dread to think how someone who has knocked their guts out, spending maybe a year writing a book, reacts after receiving 1-star reviews like these two prime exhibits.

Can't Amazon police this kind of risible drivel and remove it?

The reviewers might just as well have included details about a particularly unsatisfactory cold coffee at Starbucks and being splashed by a bus driver who drove his bus through a large puddle





Honestly, sometimes I really do despair

A logged-on member can report the reviews as inappropriate, and they will often come down. I don't know if the reviewer gets notified of where to put these comments, but I know where I'd suggest.

These people seem to totally misunderstand the meaning of "book review". They must have skyved off English lessons at school.

Different people value different things. You can't police opinion.
