You weren't the only person. Other people left comments on her review regarding the spoilers. I was glad, because that meant when it was reported, Amazon would read the comments, read the review, and make up their minds. Obviously, they agreed with the people who said there were spoilers.
For having nearly 15,000 reviews published, Harriet gets a fair amount of her reviews deleted for containing spoilers. She's really one of the worst reviewers Amazon "has".

I'm not quite sure how to say this and *not* sound like I'm soliciting, but the best thing that anybody can do aside from buying Fatal Revenant is to give a helpful vote to any review on Amazon that is positive. (Amazon is the largest community review site on the Internet.)
Since mine is 1 of 2 reviews currently posted, I can't imagine that I can come off as anything but solicitous. However, as far as I understand Amazon's formula for calculating reviewer ranking, once you're past a certain number of helpful votes (I've seen that referenced as 15 votes), they don't count toward your rating. Mine already has 40 votes, so it if you vote for my review it shouldn't help me - but it might help potential readers.
Do as your conscience dictates, and please don't feel like you've just been approached by a vacuum cleaner salesman.

yes, burgs, but does it take filters or bags? I hate bags. I like filters. but not cone-shaped ones. And it better not be loud. Is it loud? I dont like loud. How much is it, anyway? can you take a check? i don't use credit cards.burgs wrote:I'm not quite sure how to say this and *not* sound like I'm soliciting, but the best thing that anybody can do aside from buying Fatal Revenant is to give a helpful vote to any review on Amazon that is positive.

*sigh*
Sometime in the middle of the night I woke up and realized that the better idea than *voting* for positive reviews is *writing* positive reviews. The more reviews an item has, the more "weight" it carries as that implies to people that the book is/was a big seller, or at least is very popular.
Still, reviews with no votes doesn't help much - so the more positive reviews with lots of votes that an item has, the better that item is perceived.
There are still only two reviews for the book, as Harriet's spoiler-laden review was removed.
Write, ye dogs!!

I PROMISE I'll write a review, but I must finish the book first! To do else would be unethical.
That said, I would also highly encourage everyone else to write a review. It doesn't have to be more than a few sentances long.
I'd wager that Bergs and I would both be willing to help wordsmith them if you like.
And I have to say, it's really quite exiciting when peopel start voting "yes" for your review. And it practically gives chills to have someone actually post a "you rock" comment.

I went and not only wrote a review but I suddenly found everyone's nice review to be helpful!
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

You're right, of course. How silly of me to forget about that site entirely, especially when I commented on Harriet's review being there earlier in this thread.

I submitted mine. BN's layout isn't quite as friendly as Amazon's, so my extremely long review looks like a glob of gluck. I'll edit it later when I have more time.
