1-Star Review:

No the thief. Dc chic vBulletin dc b rd h rd bday vgc cc tv dc . C.f. v f2f

What the heck lol, how do you interpret that? DC...some chic...forum...director's cut...hard bird?....birthday...videogameuhhhh...closed caption...uhhhhhhhhh

I guess this is the new trend of reviews I've been reading about, but whoever intended the 1-star could have done a better job lol

Just submit it to Amazon and hope they bother with it.

Beyond that put it out of your mind.

I'd report it to Amazon..  It actually looks like spam to me.  VBulletin is a kind of Forum software.  Every now and then we get spam here that just has crap copied randomly from other web pages....

How do you report it, sorry for being a noob on this

Go to the review. You'll see a link to "report abuse." Click on that.

It's a good thing that the review makes no sense... you'll have a much better chance that the review gets removed

Thanks everyone! I suppose someone already clicked on it before I got to it

It's like the crazy reviews you see over on B&N, where teens use book reviews as some weird role playing game. They communicate with each other through the reviews. Most likely they've never even read the book -- they're just holding a conversation with one another and giving 1-stars and 2-stars in the process. It's bizarre, but B&N never does anything about it. You can report and report and report, and they never remove them.

At least Amazon is responsive that way.

That's insane. Are you sure it's a fake review? It could be some technical issue?

Creepy. I'm suddenly amazed that this kind of scary nonsense isn't all over Amazon reviews.
