And nothing pleases me more than being the "voice of reason" on an obvious set of fake reviews. It bugs me when I see it, and if I can chime in and offer my own "truth," all the better.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-14599130850429812162012-09-10T21:22:38.056-04:002012-09-10T21:22:38.056-04:00I don't take notes.

But then i dont do reviews, maybe i would if i did .. as for reviews .. i have to laugh, i buy a lot of books, but i read only one at a time. within a week of buying an eBook i get an email from bn.com asking me to write a review .. i cant, because i havent gotten to read it yet .. but i guess in light of this obscene review-gate stuff i ought to read faster so i can contribute a legit reviewDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-907693404320996032012-09-10T08:02:46.437-04:002012-09-10T08:02:46.437-04:00My note taking days are few and far between.

I read a book this month that got a lot of five star reviews, bought the book, read it, and gave it a one star review on Goodreads, I wondered if we had all read the same book. So now I know the rest of the story......

Since my long review days seem to be over, those have gone by the wayside. As to the reviews I read on Amazon, etc., well, I really don't read them so much anymore. I, too, got to the point where they kind of all sounded alike and seemed faintly suspicious. Now I know why my Spidey sense was tingling. I trust my blogging friends way more because I feel I know you guys and your tastes.
