[romantico]

Listening to a drive time talk radio show where the Kitty Kelly book is the subject.According to the host, Amazon already has negative reviews of the book even thought it hasn't come out yet(not til the 14th of Septmeber)How does Amazon allow this?

1. Well .... Why don't we FIX that ? n/t

[romantico]

2. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong

but I can't find any reviews but callers ar phoning in reading parts of them that are pretty nasty. Where am I not looking? Can't find them anywhere!!!

3. I don't see any either

:shrug:

6. Maybe they've just written them and haven't posted them yet....LOL

Or maybe they are at Barnes and Noble ?

5. Will they do a "Hatfield" on her book?

Will it be re-called and the publisher threatened? I guess we will have to wait and see.

7. KK is "bigtime"... can 't imagine they could "Hatfield" her....

They may try to get an injunction.... IMO ... I think they will try to downplay or ignore.... the way Rove did Hatfield...


( they way the SBVT's were ignored ? ... heh heh...)

8. Who cares about those crummy Amazon reviews?

If you're literate enough to navigate to Amazon, you gotta be smart enough to know that any review you see of a political book will have been written by somebody with a (glaringly obvious) political agenda. These amateur reviews may or may not be of some value with ideologically neutral books, but are totally worthless when it comes to Smearboat or Kelley.

9. I think she will come in for a lot of discrediting in the next week

Preparatory to this book actually being on sale, there is bound to be a concerted effort to discredit her, so as to immunize the Bushes. "Aw, that's just Kitty Kelly". Watch for it.

13. but yah know...

that's what every here would indeed have said about her if the subject was ABB. She is a gossipy hack -- for real and for ever -- but she flushes out the coke issue better than tin-foil hatters here. More power to her, whatever she manages to stir up.

14. I can't argue with you there

On either point, really.

10. Reviews? What reviews?

Here's the Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385503245/qid=1094598984/sr=ka-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-9084804-4095343

Funny, I don't see any reviews.

I think your 'drive time talk radio show' host is feeding you a line of bullshit. Which RW screamer were you listening to?

I did notice something interesting, though. Her book, "The Royals" is not available in the UK. Hmmm...

11. Amazon only has editorial reviews

No reader reviews. And the editorial reviews aren't negative.

12. This is her agents press release...

This is standard practice in the book biz. This is just an eye catcher to get people interested. Seems to be working :)

15. Maybe galleys have gone around.

Not every book provides buyers' copies and/or galleys to bookstores and reviewers in advance, but generally speaking, both copies of upcoming books and music CDs are provided to reviewers ahead of time. I get advance reading copies all the time.
