The Cavemen have discovered one of my books.

[Pab Sungenis]

Nicest review I've gotten in a while.

1. Well, just make sure you catch 'the' AIDS and not some everyday variety. Don't you

just love 6 year-olds?

[Brigid]

6. No, my six-year-old nephew is more civil than that.

So were my other nephews (and nieces) when *they* were six.

2. well at least 0 of 1 found the review helpful

now it's 0 of 5

[question everything]

3. Can you complain to Amazon?

We all know that the Internet provides refuge to many cooks and pathetic. I take solace that they'd better do this that beat on their wives and kids or kick the dog.

But if Amazon is hoping to sell books based on "reviews" it should police it better. There is a way to post a negative comment without personally attacking the author - just like on DU...

[Pab Sungenis]

4. I'm sure someone will flag it.

I'm not complaining. Apparently that one comment initiated enough traffic to triple my sales this past week.

I love when someone does something stupid that has the opposite effect.

any publicity is good publicity if your unknown trying to sell something

Wish someone would trash my book.

16. I flagged it as inappropriate.

And recommended it be removed. We shall see.

7. Or maybe a Columbine survivor

People who've been through traumas often have post traumatic stress which stays with them. The idea of a 'funny' novel associated with Columbine would naturally trigger repulsion or anger.

8. I downgraded his review for you, rating it as Unhelpful.

If I get around to reading the book, I'll write you a review. It sounds interesting, but my reading list already extends beyond my expected lifetime.

[Pab Sungenis]

9. Just keep reading.

We need more readers in this world.

[Puha Ekapi]

10. It looks interesting...

...your book that is. I think I will buy a download. Thanks for the heads up.

11. Ok the review is classic caveman spite

But which of the tittles did they find?

[johnnypneumatic]

12. sounds wonderful

so I just ordered a copy of the paperback from Lulu

[MineralMan]

13. I loved your request to use the review on the paperback cover.

Brilliant!

14. Is there a way

to purchase a non-kindle version (PDF or something)?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. Teabagger astroturf groups have people whose job it is to rate down liberal books on Amazon

Of course this idiot probably doesn't work for them. They have plenty of sheep who will do it for free, and the unhinged tone of this "review" is probably not something AFP wants to spend their money on.

17. They think they are "Patriots". That is a room full of Royalists, doing their Master's bidding.

And they all believe that they are not useful fools.
