MrFlibble Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've been googling for some Dune-related material and stumbled upon this article:http://www.amazon.com/imagine-davincis-took-mona-lisa/forum/Fx27DZ4MWVAA9LN/Tx3ASQU9JY5U7EA/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin=0340837500It's a (mostly negative) review of the sequels. There seem to be more of those there, too.NOTE: Don't read it if you're afraid of spoilers!EDIT: It appears that many negative reviews on Amazon are being censored (removed):http://www.amazon.com/Even-MORE-negative-reviews-deleted/forum/Fx27DZ4MWVAA9LN/Tx2NILY0IYUDIOP/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tpHow nice.

SandChigger Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 There seems to have been a conspiracy for some time now to keep the number of reviews of <i>Seaworms</i> at 101. (I haven't checked today, so if the number has FINALLY changed...my bad!)It has made me very angry to watch better written and thought out reviews be deleted while insipid, one- or two-sentence splats of fanboy drool are allowed to remain, simply on the basis of the former having given the book one star and the latter, five. Only a few of the deleted reviews have actually been in violation of Amazon's guidelines.I know Amazon (and TOR and the HLP) are in business to make money. But their behavior in this has just been too obvious and self-serving. (I've used Amazon heavily pretty much since they went online. My opinion of the company was dented last year or so when I first learned about Harriet Klausner and similar shills. This stuff has damaged it further. I'm currently too bound by inertia [a massive wishlist ;) ] to consider moving to another bookseller in protest. Besides, I have too much fun commenting on the bad reviews there! :D )(My review was deleted soon after I posted it, btw. I complained to Amazon and it was restored.)
