I remember she joined here and started posting reviews unnecessarily and it seems that she is the "#1 Reviewer" on Amazon having posted, at the time of writing, a total of 9608 reviews.
But would you buy a book on the recommendation of this woman? Every review is three paragraphs long and reads as if she has just copied the back of the book into the box provided and hit the 'Submit' button. The first two paragraphs are a summary of the plot with the third being that part of a blurb that tries to hint at the underlying message of the novel.
And, as far as I can tell, she gives every book a rating of four or five stars even though it seems to be absolute tripe she is reading; the sort of books you would simply pass by in any bookshop, including Amazon, unless your gran wrote it and you were just buying it to be nice.
The prolificity seems to have her reading and reviewing a number of books per day which means she's either retired, unemployed, or a completely fictional character. Either way, she's not a very good reviewer and has no critical eye for anything; I doubt she could comment on the smell of shit.
So, out of 9608 reviews, why have their been 60,239 instances where someone has found her reviews helpful?
You can browse samples of her "critical eye" from her reviews here. The content of these actually suggests to me that she hasn't actually read them.
