[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use Goodreads for more honest reviews. Many people won't leave a written review for a bad book, but they will rate it low. Amazon doesn't allow you to rate a book without follow up commentary.[/quote] I know an author who solicited and drummed up reviews for their forthcoming book at every occasion; casual get togethers, kid birthday parties, block parties. Hard sell tactics but must have worked. No surprise that this book got all 5 star reviews on GoodReads and Amazon. There was great fanfare once the book launched with even more glowing reviews. Not self-published. I no longer read reviews on the well-known sites.[/quote]
