I'm not persuaded that it would be helpful to write reviews for Amazon if you haven't read the book.

What Freepers can do, however, is to go through all the reviews, vote NO for the moonbat ones, and YES for the good ones. And if you've read the book, by all means review it.

Excellent point, that's what I did. It must have taken me about an hour or so to get through most of that list, and the posts that threatened violence or engaged in profanity (curiously all where One (1) Star reviews) I reported as "inappropriate."

I have O'Bierne's book and am about half finished reading it. I plan to write a review and give it Five (5) Stars if it continues the quality I have seen so far.

Amazon may have its hands full dealing with all the unethical spam reviews of this book by O'Bierne, but the poor policing of such spam doesn't enamor me to the ethical standards of Amazon. Why does Amazon allow such obviously fraudulent posts to exist without proper remedy? I certainly understand the frustration that led to IWF's call for reviews based on Amazon policy, or lack of Amazon policy, in this regard.
