I just want to point out that sometimes it is not in the author's control if a friend or family member (or wannabe boy- or girl-friend) writes a review. Although my ebooks do not have reviews by friends and family, I have had "friends" review other things I've done on the internet, and believe me, when you've got a crazy person who is determined to "help" you, you can't stop them.
So please give an author a break and don't blame them for the reviews that get left. Just ignore the suspect reviews and go on to other evidence. (A bad writer is likely to leave plenty of other evidence behind. Like in the book description and the sample, and even the title and cover.)
And whoever said that they prefer Smashwords - I agree. Smashwords ROCKS. Especially in their nice long samples that allow a reader to check a book out at their leisure.
