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 1974 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1007 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1104 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 999 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 428 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 465 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 924 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1099 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 532 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1055 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 942 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 903 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1142 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 931 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1022 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1007 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 880 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 461 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 975 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 986 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 992 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 429 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 427 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 1034 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1010 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1054 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 925 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 866 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 857 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1110 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 959 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 869 Views

I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1127 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 976 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 393 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 920 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 429 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 961 Views
