[quote=Anonymous][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]

This is pretty funny.  I think one of those "Real Housewives" tried to promote her own book on some online forum but forgot to logout as herself, so it was very apparent that she was the one doing the review.[/quote]
