I thought of one. I can't even read newspaper articles about it, except from the corner of my eye. These are NOT abuse stories. These are things that happen to children in the care of loving people. Stories that make me cringe: Dad straps the baby in the car and heads toward day care to drop...

I read the post, but the books were so forgettable - and so old - I didn't bother to commit the author's name to memory (neither should anyone.) or draw the connection. Happy?

I am not one isolated woman on the planet who has never spoken to another woman on this planet. My opinion is better than yours because it is based on experience and knowledge, not lurid fantasy, rationalizations and wishful thinking.

Neither does your knee-jerk defense of him based on what you THINK teenaged girls "want" (based on what?)prove his innocence. BTW, teenaged girls want attention and romance, not a quicky while they're on break at work. Men who think teenagers are all hot for sex RIGHT here RIGHT now tend to...

You see? There you go. You weren't there, you don't know, but you're shifting blame to the victim. As a former "hot teenager", one who was raped, I should mention, I cringed at the whole thing, knowing as I intimately do what men are apt to pull when the door is closed, and what they say...

Shoot. I didn't notice until now that someone posted this link already. Boy is my face red. :mad:

I just poked around, and found Joanna Daneman, who ranks Number 6 and writes reviews I would probably read. She even hits the lower ranges of stars on occasion. But she doesn't necessarily review the stuff I would be inclined to buy. Number 3 looked good to me too. Number 2 gives what...

It took me a while (it isn't easy to find, and I can't even recall the steps I took to locate it!) but HERE IT IS. THE LIST: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/cm/top-reviewers-list/-/1/002-9998689-4226463?%5Fencoding=UTF8&page=1

Kobe Bryant is a famous sports figure, who was accused by a hotel worker of inviting her into his room where he raped her. Throughout the trial, they tried to keep her identity secret, but as I recall, someone gleefully and triumphantly revealed it to the world. She dropped the case and let him...

Perhaps you personally do. However, if you happened to wander into discussion forums when the Kobe Bryant case was going full swing, you'd be disturbed and dismayed, listening to the men. I was angry and disgusted. When people have the cover of anonymity, their true selves are revealed...

I never knew that. Are you sure? I'm certain I've posted the first review on books and never saw squat for it.

Here's another thought. I know of new authors who shipped her their books, free, because she posts her email address in her profile, is Number 1, and leaves good reviews. I imagine book publishers do the same. Though I seriously doubt they're paying her - if you read through her list of Amazon...

Yes they do. Try this address: community-help@amazon.com Sometimes you get scripted replies, so make your inquiry so specific and individualized that they have to respond to you. Or just keep after them, sending them a copy of their canned reply explaining why they weren't "helpful". There...

A lot of it is ego, in my opinion. Harriet Klausner has made herself literally famous by posting reviews. Every author in America knows about her. She can also feel a sense of power - that's what reviewers have. It's benign power because she only posts good reviews. But there is that factor...

That was my first thought too, but that author's books were REALLY REALLY badly written. When the shock value subsided, so did her books. I wouldn't recommend them.

It was a blockbuster, and the movie was made for TV, so on the surface, Lonesome Dove had all the markings of a schlocky, mass-marketed mess. Nevertheless, THE BOOK IS WONDERFUL!! (So was the mini-series.) It's well-written, fast moving, great dialog, exceptionally well-drawn characters. The...

This may sound crazy, but a good deal of depression is caused by a Vitamin B deficiency. Put "vitamin b deficiency depression" in a Google search, and you'll get all kinds of articles on the subject. I'm one of those people who doesn't process Vitamin B correctly for some reason, and because...

You have a point - but not 100%. You can protect yourself from bilge writing by simply reading excerpts. If the book doesn't have one on Amazon, don't buy it. If it has one and it makes you cringe, don't buy it. If it has one and it seems like it was intelligently written, then also has good...

That's the perfect beauty of Amazon. They offer EVERYTHING, and smaller authors have as good a chance as blockbuster authors to have their books display in a search list when readers enter a key word. It's a fair and democratic system. So readers benefit from Amazon Recommendations, get...
