What really, really, REALLY drives me nuts is when people get their friends and family to post 5-star reviews -- or even post their own reviews. I mean, how awful does your book have to be that you would resort to that kind of thing? I mean, really? And it's annoying because it's usually blatantly obvious that the review is a friend/family/author review. I'm starting to suspect a lot of the 5-star reviews I see on Kindle/Amazon self-published books fall into that category, because when you read the book or the sample and find there's no way on EARTH it could POSSIBLY have justified a 5-star review, you have to conclude there's something else going on there.
