[quote=Anonymous]Amazon does the same thing.  I'd just finished grad school and was eager to read something for fun.  I like sci fi/fantasy and based on overwhelming reviews, I got this series called Ruin Mist.  The first book was edited really poorly (lots of misspellings or words used incorrectly - like 'beared' instead of 'bared').  I gave the second book in the series a shot only to discover 3/4s of it was a repeat of the first book.  Not just re-hashing or reviewing, it was VERBATIM.  I was so pissed I contacted Amazon.  They refunded not just the purchase cost but also shipping.  I then wrote reviews of the two books.  Nothing I wrote was incorrect, inflammatory or insulting.  It was fact based yet, my reviews were removed because "someone" complained I had violated the terms of feedback policy.  I later learned the author, Robert Stanek, was notorious for writing his own positive reviews and getting negative reviews squashed http://www.davidlouisedelman.com/book-promotion/ethical-self-promotion/ .  What an asshole.[/quote]
