Yup. Every book seems to be 4 or 5 stars, so I don't even pay attention the star rating anymore.vrabinec said:I think we've come up with a hell of a lot more on here than just those five.
Seriously, though. If you were looking at a list of books that popped up in your search results, would you spend time looking into those displaying a 3-star average?timskorn said:Yup. Every book seems to be 4 or 5 stars, so I don't even pay attention the star rating anymore.
I do all the time. If I am looking for a specific type of book, I don't stop at the star rating. I read the reviews. Particularly because I read a lot of political and religion books that tend to attract negative reviews from people who just disagree with the position.Quiss said:Seriously, though.

I have a friend who bought my book on Amazon Kindle and wanted to write a review. It was disallowed. Has anyone else run into this? people wanting to review your book, but not able to?
Thanks.

Your friend will have to buy something from Amazon before their account will be able to review anything.Wag-a-muffin said:I'm new, so please forgive me if this is off-topic, but I've searched for over an hour (1 hour 23 minutes) and this is the closest topic to my question.

I've heard otherwise...swolf said:I would do anything for reviews....
...but I won't do that.
Thank you SO much! These were so informative--and a bit scary. One of my reviews is from an on-line fan of my cartoons. He wrote, "Have 'known' Barbara Black Fox for several years on the internet. Have always found her view of our often confused world to be wise and crystal clear! Highly recommend this tome to her fans, and for the price, legions of soon to be new fans. " When I first read it I thought NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't write that you "know" me! But it's still on there today.ShaunaG said:Wag-a-muffin, here are just a few of the threads about banned/removed reviews:
