Authors Write Own Reviews |
The Telegraph has revealed that some of Britain's best-selling authors are giving their own novels five star reviews on Amazon by pretending to be readers. Jane Green and Isabel Wolff are among a number of writers who have given themselves high scoring reviews in order to boost their popularity and sell more books. Both authors have admitted posting reviews in the reader comment section of Amazon's website, which allows people to write their own reviews and award a score between one and five. The practice has become so widespread that the online bookseller
is now seeking ways to prevent it. Check out the full story here: Telegraph Anyone any comments? Fair play or foul? Mail: editors(at)booklore.co.uk. Nigel - 1st January 2003 |
