I have never published a fake review on Amazon or anywhere else.<br /><br />I do reviews for Amazon and in my blog, but this was crazy. Not surprised it happens, though, bc I've seen other "reviews" for SF and fantasy stories that you just know were phoned in by the author himself....Kenneth Mark Hooverhttp://kennethmarkhoover.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-71850544605407844802010-07-20T06:54:54.061-07:002010-07-20T06:54:54.061-07:00Vanity, vanity.

Th..."I've made some foolish errors." That's what he has to say for himself? No--a foolish error is when you add instead of subtract the amount of your electric bill in your checkbook. What this guy did was a lot worse--in addition to being petty and mean-spirited.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-22421352475851345922010-07-19T19:44:45.161-07:002010-07-19T19:44:45.161-07:00This is very strange.

They are both at the head of the field of Russian cultural histories. Why would Figes be such a sore winner? That's very odd behavior at this point in his career. It's like Stephen King trashing other thriiler writers.<br /><br />Dan LuftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-84472047718081674952010-07-19T18:18:48.408-07:002010-07-19T18:18:48.408-07:00Ed, that made me chuckle.
