That's why I always do. Werthead Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM
especially when it comes to niche obscure books? If you post your review on Amazon, you at least have a chance of affecting people's buying choices.


I repost all my reviews to Amazon automatically. Sometimes Amazon don't publish them (mainly if I slip in the odd swear word; Amazon don't publish reviews even with very mild language like 'bloody' in them) and Amazon block reviews of books not released yet (which is odd, as they allow reviews of unreleased films and computer games). Aside from that, they're all up there.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1907 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 941 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1034 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 925 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 402 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 439 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 859 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1027 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 500 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 987 Views
I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:37:53 AM 877 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 829 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1066 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 858 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 959 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 939 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 806 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 435 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 909 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 911 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 916 Views
I stopped caring so long ago I don't even remember much of what it's about. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2010 04:21:52 PM 404 Views
Wolves and incest and a big wall of ice with barrow-wights on the other side. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:19 AM 402 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 966 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 940 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 981 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 856 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 794 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost Tashmere - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 793 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1046 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? Aeryn - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 889 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 796 Views

I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1060 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 895 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 367 Views

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book. Kotagg - 25/09/2010 12:46:03 AM 847 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 407 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 892 Views
