Comey book cannot take in bad reviews

Posted on 04/20/2018 11:02:29 AM PDT by GOP Congress

Rush Limbaugh had a caller that said that he couldn't give a bad review (one-star) on the Amazon site for James Comey's ghostwritten piece of excrement, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," based upon substance. He is a verified buyer of the book, so it wasn't a spam posting. Limbaugh's staff went ahead and tried to post, each having purchased the book, but weren't allowed to post either. The only reviews are 4- and 5-star reviews (though there's one or two 1-star reviews that must have sneaked through the algorithm).

Go ahead and try this. If you have Kindle, the book is free, though you would have technically "purchased it." I have kindle and get many books like this, and always have been able to leave reviews. (In many cases I have read a book PRIOR to purchase, so it's not a matter of "not enough time between purchase and review" excuse either.)

The book site is https://www.amazon.com/Higher-Loyalty-Truth-Lies-Leadership/dp/1250192455. I'm not going to hot-link it, but if you want, copy and paste the link and attempt for yourself.

Just give it four stars, but say in the review how awful it is and you would have given it a lower review but it wasn’t allowed. :)

You mean Jeff “Washington Compost” Bezos would manipulate ratings on Amazon?

Shocking!

I’d give the book a positive review: It’s nice to have around when you run out of Charmin. It can also serve as kindling for your fireplace.

So they won’t allow negative reviews ? They want to create the impression that everyone loves this book?

Reminds me of the polls during the 2016 election cycle, always showing Hillary comfortably ahead.

Yet Comey’s book is supposedly a bestseller. Are those sales numbers padded and inflated too? How many sales were bulk purchase to show how.popular this book is???

Give it the minimum number of stars to get in, and in the body of your comment say you really give it zero or one star but write that you weren’t allowed to record that.

Lets see if folks get blocked on facebook, too. In other words, is Zucky fulfilling his commitment to the Dems.

I noticed Charmin has two brands, Extra Strong and extra Soft.
maybe this one should be called Extra Weak...

This foolishness reminds me of how some Hollywood “blockbusters” are hyped to try and make them “blockbusters”. Now matter how much PR and money is tossed at a turkey, it is still a turkey. People figure it out.

I hope they used softer paper than Hillary did.

It is NOT free for all Kindle owners.

Nobody wants to use toilet paper that already has someone else’s cr*p on it.

I like your thinking.

But take a screen shot of your bad 4-star review for when it disappears down the rabbit hole.

This needs to be verified. Buy a hardcover book, wait a few days, and try to post and see what happens. I doubt this, but want to see the results.
